For the record, it seems that devEMF::emf() works fine on the Windows Vista SP2 machine with R3.2.2 and Illustrator CS4: the text is recognized as text and every point/line can be dissociated.

Thanks Jean for the tip.
I'll try postscript() and devEMF::emf() and see if it works.
Still, it's very complicated to export vector graphics in R...

    Dear useRs,

    A colleague of mine is having a problem with graphic devices. The
    goal is to save into a vector graphic format that can be edited
    with Illustrator CS4.

    On my Mac (Snow Leopard), I use RSvgDevice::devSVG() and it works
    fine.
    But on her Windows Vista computer, I cannot find an alternative.>
    sessionInfo()
    R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14)
    Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)
    Running under: Windows Vista (build 6002) Service Pack 2

    I have tried:
    - pdf(): I cannot dissociate the graphical elements (no problem
    with text)
    - cairo_pdf(): the text is replaced by symbols
    - cairo_ps(): fine except that the text is not text but object (it
    is then a bit troublesome, as any text modification requires the
    text to be completely rewritten)
    - svg(): the graphic is completely screwed up (it seems to be a
    scaling problem, with symbols and letters all very large and
    superposed)
    - RSvgDevice cannot be installed on the Windows machine, neither
    as binary nor from source.

    Is there any other device that could work? If not, is it a matter
    of settings? So, basically, what can I do?

    Thank you in advance,
    Ivan
