problem creating PDF file in R(guitar package)

Hi, I am trying to run Guitar on R, and I got to the part where the pdf with the imagws is supposed to be created, but I get an error msg saying that

"Error in pdf(file=f1, width=8, height-4): cannot open file file.pdf

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I've no idea what you are doing or what this package is doing but the first thing that comes to my mind is: "do you have write permissions in your current directory?"

proper syntax to create a PDF in R would be

pdf("file.pdf", width=8, height=4)
# plot command
dev.off()

In your case, your syntax is wrong at height-4 also did you create an object f1 where you filename file.pdf is stored?

BTW, this is purely not a Bioinformatics question.
