Details

ipdf is a shortcut in case PDF is used as the device, with the twist that useDingbats is set to FALSE by default. See NOTE.

dev.print will make a R-script fail if the session is not interactive (e.g. when the script is excuted with the -f option from R command line). Function idev checks first whether the session is interative, and executes dev.print only if the session is interactive.

A commonly used shortcut is ipdf, which prints the current device to a PDF file.
