BTW: pdf is exactly the wrong way to do that ;) Also I forgot to mention that there are some GUI projects that separate the UI and the R process. Byron Ellis had some UI a while ago that was Mac specific so presumably could be used across Mac machines. RStudio also separates R and the UI so presumably you could run it across machines (also it ships bitmap files instead of graphics so it should be efficient) - but I have never tried it that way.
