An ‘interesting’ aside is that in Monterey (12.6.2), a blank window
appears when I click on ‘PDF’ from within the RStudio help system.
Within the R GUI, there is not a problem.  In either case, typing
  vignette('concordance', package='survival’)
in the command line window works fine.  Kevin, does this work
for you?

And you have confirmed that it is what happens, so are you taking about something else? If so, please describe every step you make to reproduce whatever issue you are having.

> When I try to open a PDF vignette (say a vignette from the survival package)from the help system in R it does not open Preview. I cannot actually open any PDF vignettes. All I get is a finder window with the error I previously described. It asks me to select an appropriate viewer. Selecting Preview opens nothing and more errors are thrown to the Console. I could send you and Duncan screenshots off-list, since I know that theses lists are picky about attachments.
