[R] How to build a vignette?

[PO SU]

Yeah, i can write some roxygen2 which transformed to .RD files.
 The pdf of a  package in the cran is not a vignette?  That's to say some packages have not vignettes?
 And the pdf version is generated by me or cran ? If by me , how can i generate it from my .RD files.
i am writing  a package, source R codes are already written but i don't very clear about how to subbmmit to cran.

RStudio makes using roxygen to generate Rd files easy, though raw Rd files aren't that bad. Keep in mind that you will probably end up learning a bit of Rd syntax even if you preprocess with roxygen, so don't be shy about diving in to section 2 of the "Writing R Extensions" documentation.
