I am making an R package using devtools and roxygen2. I can get a PDF manual using R CMD but I am really curious as to whether this can be done using devtools. devtools' build(), check(), install() all don't make a PDF manual. Is this tied to making vignettes?
I have read and referred to a similar thread Package development : location of pdf manual and vignette

Open a new project in RStudio. Go to the 'File' menu and click on 'New Project. ' Then select 'New Directory,' and 'R Package' to create a new R package.
R CMD check automatically checks your code for common problems. It's essential if you're planning on submitting to CRAN, but it's useful even if you're not because it automatically detects many common problems that you'd otherwise discover the hard way.
After you install it, you can use:
pack <- "name_of_your_package" path <- find.package(pack) system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")), "CMD", "Rd2pdf", shQuote(path))) There is
devtools::build_manual() Maybe also
devtools::check(manual=TRUE) could work.
