Deal all,
new as I am to developing packages for R-Project, I apologize on
beforehand for questions that are too obvious. I am trying to 'add' a
PDF document containing some detailed information to a package.
The way I understand the Rexts.pdf document, I should add my .PDF
document to the /inst/doc/ folder, and links to the files should be
build automatically. However, after building it on MacOSX (10.4) using
'R CMD build' and checking it using 'R CMD check', no links seems to be
present. All checks are OK, but no vignette or whatever appears in the
help-files of the package.
Clearly, I'm missing something. I would really appreciate some pointers
on how to integrate an 'additional' pdf file to my package.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Rense
This is probably not the prettiest solution, and I'd be curious about
better ones from people on this list, but here's one possibility:
1.) Put your PDF file foo.pdf into the inst/pdfs folder of your package.
2.) Create a file foo.Rnw with following content in inst/doc
------------------------------------------
%\VignetteIndexEntry{The Foo Bar}
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
------------------------------------------
3.) Create a Makefile in inst/doc, with contents like:
---------------------------------------
all: foo bar
bar: bar.tex
pdflatex bar
pdflatex bar
foo: foo.tex
cp -p ../pdfs/foo.pdf .
---------------------------------------
