The content you have listed above is part of a header from a PDF file,
apparently generated by R from a plot() command ("R Graphics Output")
presumably encapsulated between pdf(...) ... dev.off() commands.
It is most unlikely that such a file would contain any "R code"
(i.e. a list of C commands).
Are you sure you are editing the correct file? What are you trying
to do? In any case, there are almost no circumstances in which it
is meaningful to apply a text editor (like 'vim') to a PDF file!
Possibly, if you are using a Windows platform, you may have mixed
up a text file with R commands (e.g. "project1.R") with a PDF
file generated by R using the same name (e.g. "project1.pdf")
because Windows (by default) does not show you the extension
(respectively ".R" and ".pdf").
Please clarify!
Ted.
