[R-pkg-devel] checking PDF version of manual without hyperrefs or index ... ERROR

[Georgi Boshnakov]

This seems to be  the code for "small latin capital fl". Such characters often occur when copying text from external programs 
(similar to the familiar problem with fancy quotes). If that is the case, Just changing the offending symbol to  the two letters 'f' and 'l' should suffice.

Subject: [R-pkg-devel] checking PDF version of manual without hyperrefs or index ... ERROR

Hello,
I'm attempting to upload a package to CRAN and although it passes the R CMD checks that I run, it doesn't pass the CRAN check and the response I get is pasted below. I've looked online and found numerous solutions; some made no sense to me & others didn't work.
I tried downloading and putting upquote.sty and inconsolata.sty files into the latex folder. I also tried typing --no-manual in the project options under R CMD check options.
Still the CRAN submission email response provided the below error.
What can I do to make this go away and have my package accepted?
It probably doesn't help that I know next to nothing about LaTeX.
Incidentally I don't mind not having a pdf manual, so if there is a simple way to avoid the check by requesting not to have one, that'll do.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Anthony
