[R-pkg-devel] How to provide a finalized PDF file in a package?

[Joris Meys]

Dear Neonira,

as Thierry said, the inst folder serves that purpose. To be a bit more specific: any documentation you provide that doesn't need building, goes in the inst/doc folder. That's also where R CMD build creates the output of vignettes created with Sweave or knitr.

You find more information in this section of the manual:
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Writing-package-vignettes

Cheers
Joris

Dear Neonira.

Whatever file you place in the inst folder, will be available for the users
when they install the package.
