Re: [R] Include externally generated pdf in output (without Sweave)
Importing as pixel image then replotting will probably reduce the quality of the graph. Another approach is to use the pdftk program (I have seen versions for unix and windows) to add/insert the original pdf page into your document. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

Re: [R] Include externally generated pdf in output (without Sweave)
Hello Dieter, Looking at this thread (from 2005) http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/10/14320.html It seems you can't read a pdf file to R (at least then, I hope there was an update since). BUT You could potentially read an image file (like, for example, tiff) using something like read.picture {SoPhy} And then write that into the PDF you are creating in R. The best thing is if there was some function to read a vector file into R (and not only the pixel). Maybe such a function exits, you should check. Either way, great question.

Hi, Check the grImport package (I think it has a vignette, perhaps on Paul Murrell's homepage.)
