Pdflatex .exe The Memory Dump File Could Not Be Found

I think I have a MikTeX problem. In RStudio I clicked on the Knit PDF button and received this error message.
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)
pdflatex: The memory dump file could not be found.
pdflatex: Data: pdflatex.fmt
I then followed the first instruction at http://docs.miktex.org/manual/formats.html Then I rebooted my computer.
At this point I do not know if I need to add a memory dump file and if so, the details of how to do so.
I then tried Knit Word and that worked beautifully, producing a Word 2007 document.
I am using RStudio. I have an R markup document Ira.Rmd. It produced files Ira.md and Ira.html. I would like to save as Ira.pdf. I downloaded and ran pandoc on the command line with
I received the following error message.
Pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source.This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3.1.40.12 Pdflatex: The memory dump file could not be found.Pdflatex: Data: pdflatex.fmt
Can someone explain in simple terms how I can perform this file conversion?I am using the following.
Windows 7. R Version: 3.0.2 RStudio Version: 0.98.684 Gira homeserver vmware download.
I did read https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown but I still do not understand how to convert my file.
UPDATE I am editing my question.
I am trying to convert an R markdown file to PDF. I created the RMD file in R Studio. With a click of a button I successfully produced the HTML file which is filled with R code.
Pdflatex.exe The Memory Dump File Could Not Be Found
I am using R version 3.0.2
I am using RStudio version 0.98.684
I do not know if the following is relevant.
My .Rprofile file contains the following line.
I ran the following
I have attempted all of the suggestions. Thank you. However, I continue to receive error messages when trying to convert to PDF. My most recent posts attempted to post the error messages.
The real Rmarkup file is: IraAppliedStats.Rmd
Clicking on Knit produces the desired HTML file.
I successfully ran the commands:
From the console I ran the following command, but I received an error.
I observed the monitor. After a few chunks were produced I started to see multiple messages such as the following after a few chunks were completed.
*Warning in (if (out_format(c('latex', 'sweave', 'listings', 'markdown'))) sanitize_fn else str_c)(path, : dots in figure paths replaced with _ ('IraAppliedStats_Rmd_files/figure-latex/unnamed-chunk-10')*
Also each chunk had the following message.
ordinary text without R code
Much of the document is R code. The same line appears when I am producing the HTML file.
The essence of the error message seems to be.
pandoc.exe: Error producing PDF from TeX source.This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)pdflatex: The memory dump file could not be found.
Using Notepad, I then added the following two lines to the top of the IraAppliedStats.md file.
*title: IraAppliedStats.mdoutput: pdf_document*
I closed Notepad.
I again ran the command.
This did not appear to help as I again received an error message and there was no PDF file produced.

Using the rmarkdown package (included with RStudio Version 0.98.682, the current preview release) it's very simple to convert Rmd to PDF, there is a single function that will do the conversion: render.
Here's my markdown file (the example one that is created when you start a new Rmd in RStudio), Assume it's called Untitled.Rmd and saved in the working directory (and assuming your LaTeX distribution is fully up-to-date, and you have the latest version of Pandoc):
Then I run in the console:
And then I get Untitled.pdf in my working directory, which looks like this:
Alternatively, here is the long-hand way to do this, if you can't use that version of RStudio, or don't want to include those title: and output: lines in your markdown code:
More details about the packages & versions I'm using for this:
You have to install RStudio after installing MikTek.
