Oh yes, this was very helpful (and don't I feel just too silly...).  I am,
however, still stuck.  This is like pulling teeth, how ridiculous that I
can't get this simple code to work.

Here is what I have:

      > #opening the pdf with a larger document size
      > pdf(file = "C:/SFL_2005_PCA27R_7_tree_full.pdf", height = 15, width
= 20) 

That seems to work okay (no errors, at any rate - I get the next prompt
line).  Then I try:

      > #plotting the pdf
      > plot(SFL_2005_PCA27R_7_tree_full) 

and this nets me:
      Error: object "SFL_2005_PCA27R_7_tree_full" not found
      Error in plot(SFL_2005_PCA27R_7_tree_full) : 
         error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for
function 'plot'

but turning off the PDF driver works okay:

     > #turning off the device
     > dev.off()
     null device 
               1

If I open the pdf with Acrobat, the file is definitely there, albeit still
crowded.  It's not like the file is empty or anything.  I am mystified.
