I don't think you have to do that. I also like using the pdf manuals for browsing/searching/... I recently built the pdf manuals for R-2.14.1. I have attached two scripts that did it for me. The setup script prepares the R build system. The make-R-pdf script just makes the pdf manuals and copies them to the current directory. Both these scripts should placed in the directory where you have unpacked R sources (R-2.14.1.tar.gz). Comments and improvements welcome. Berend
