how to print loop plotting into single pdf /multiple pdf files

Question

I am doing loop ploting, and want to print plots into pdf. what should I do. I am very confused.

the looping codes looks like this:

for (i in 1:12)){

   df<-Sample.Data %>% filter(ID==i) 
         p1 <- ggplot(data =df)+
   geom_line(aes(x = Days, y = Result, color = Item))+
      
 print(p1)
 }

then, what should I do?

Try this with pdf function (No data provided so it is not possible to add some output):

#Pdf
pdf('Example.pdf',width = 14)
#Loop
for (i in 1:12)){
  #Data
  df<-Sample.Data %>% filter(ID==i) 
  #Plot
  p1 <- ggplot(data =df)+
    geom_line(aes(x = Days, y = Result, color = Item))
  #Print
  plot(p1)
}
dev.off()

Can I define output location? if I defined my location as `outfile`, then how I can output pdf at that location with name 'test.pdf'? – Stataq Sep 21 '20 at 21:24
@Stataq You have to set a directory with `setwd()` and then your pdf will be saved in that location. – Duck Sep 21 '20 at 21:25
I did not use setwd(), instead, I used `out_dir = "//Statistics"` – Stataq Sep 21 '20 at 21:35
@Stataq In that case try this: `pdf(paste0(out_dir,'//Example.pdf'),width = 14)` at the beginning of the code! – Duck Sep 21 '20 at 21:36
