Is it possible to display a pdf file in an Rmarkdown file? Say, for example, a previously saved image myimage.pdf
What I am aiming is a form of
\includegraphics[width=0.5]{myimage.pdf}

1Yes, pdf_output supports raw latex, so you can do as you suggested. You'll need to put units on the width, though. – tmpname12345 Jan 21 '15 at 19:13

I was able to do as you said and include it in the pdf output, thanks. Is there a way to include it in the HTML output? – user2809432 Jan 21 '15 at 22:25

1Not unless you convert it to png or jpeg first. – tmpname12345 Jan 22 '15 at 01:39

An update from the very end of 2017
It is possible to import a PDF image using knitr::include_graphics(), e.g.
```{r label, out.width = "85%", fig.cap = "caption"}
include_graphics("path-to-your-image.pdf")
```

4**knitr::include_graphics("path-to-your-image.pdf")** worked for me, but **include_graphics("path-to-your-image.pdf")** did not. Is it possible that you missed to add **knitr::** in your example? – user2809432 Feb 09 '18 at 17:58

Nice that this sorta works now, but the size control does nothing for me in knitr 1.20 – daknowles Aug 27 '18 at 21:11

You can insert this directly into your R Markdown. The alternate name will only be displayed if the image does not load.
{width=500px}

For the record and as suggested in the comments, this works perfectly fine as long as you're knitting to pdf (this is a LaTex command that won't work if you try to knit to HTML or docx though):
\includegraphics[width = \textwidth]{myimage.pdf}
You can change the width with something like
\includegraphics[width = 0.5\textwidth]{myimage.pdf}
