A tar.gz file is not an Rd file.  The help for Rd2pdf says it accepts 
the files in these ways:

Generate PDF output from the Rd sources specified by files, by
either giving the paths to the files, or the path to a directory with
the sources of a package, or an installed package.

So you need to untar the file and specify the directory for it, you 
can't use a tar.gz file here.
