yes, understood. What I mean is, why not just generate the following R code
unconditionally (just a sketch):
# locate required tools
pdflatex.cmd <- Sys.which ("pdflatex")
pdftk.cmd <- Sys.which ("pdftk")
if ((pdflatex.cmd == "") | (pdftk.cmd == "")) stop ("Could not find all
required
tools")
# set up temporary directory
dir <- tempfile ("klausuR")
if (!dir.create (dir, recursive=TRUE)) stop ("Could not create temporary dir")
on.exit (unlink (dir))
# ok, we're set to go
cmd <- paste (..., pdflatex.cmd, ..., pdftk.cmd, ...)
System (cmd)
I.e. simply move the logic into the generated R code.
