Thanks Marc.
I have now confirmed that this is not a MAC only issue. Tested on my windows
box just now.
Thanks again to everyone who helped.

Hi,
Just as an FYI, without getting too far OT, if you are not familiar with
Electron (https://www.electronjs.org), beyond being "free", it is
cross-platform (Windows, macOS, and Linux), which is why a notable number of
application developers, including "for profit" ones, are shifting to it.
Thanks for that Ken.
I downloaded the “non-Electron” version from the link you posted and PDFs now
open properly. Naturally, RStudio now wants to update but I assume an update
will fetch the broken Electron version.
Thanks for all the help troubleshooting.

I found the same plugins and removed them. It works correctly in the R.app.
RStudio still directs me to a browser window at the localhost address 127.0.0.1
and nothing loads. I know RStudio is not R and this list is for R so will
probably have to search elsewhere for
That worked for me. I deleted two plugins from the global
/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins folder named
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
and dated from 2020. Now things are fine.

Kevin,
can you then describe in more detail what you are taking about? If you open a
PDF vignette in R, it simply calls "open" so it will open in Preview (as that
is your system viewer). And you have confirmed that it is what happens, so are
you taking about something else? If so, please
Yes, it does.

Kevin,
no this is an Adobe issue - it seems to hijack the PDF support. R simply uses
"open" so it doesn't care who handles it - that is a system setting, it has
nothing to do with R. Did you try setting Preview as your system viewer?
Cheers,
Simon

I removed and re-installed Acrobat Reader. The error persists. I even let
Reader be my default for PDFs and still no success.

Thanks for the reply Simon.
As near as I can tell I have a working Adobe reader. I checked for updates and
have the current version, it is just not set as my default viewer for PDF. Why
has it stopped working with the Mac Preview app? Is it related to the loss of
PS/EPS support?
I would
Kevin,
this looks like a problem with your Adobe installation - you seem to have the
stub installed, but not an actual Adobe viewer. Perhaps look for uninstallation
instructions for Adobe, reinstall it or ask their support? After upgrades it is
often necessary to re-install 3rd party software.
I noticed today that I can no longer open PDF vignettes from the help system in
Ventura. I first noticed it in RStudio. Previously PDFs would open in Preview
but now they try to open in a web page. So, I tried in native R (outside
RStudio). I started the help system and went to the survival
