I am confused. Is the behavior of pdf() on Macs (I presume you are using a Mac from your e-mail headers) different than on Linux? If I create a single pdf() or postscript() document that contains multiple plots using "onefile = TRUE", I do not get automatically generated page numbers on each plot. Are you embedding or reading the R generated PDF file in some other application that reads the PDF file page sequence and then appends the page number? FWIW, a scan of the code in .../src/main/devPS.c, which I believe is shared by the PDF device, indicates that the page counter variable 'pageno' is hard coded to start at 0 and increment by one for each new page. Thus, it is not affected by other 'options' or 'pars'. Unless I am missing something or the pdf() function behaves differently on a Mac, I am not sure what and how you are seeing what you do. In a vacuum, I would recommend that you create only one R plot per PDF file, which would then enable you to control the page numbering in your other application or to perhaps use pdflatex for greater control.
