Dear all,
First, thank you to everyone who responded.
Let me be more specific about what I did, focusing on macOS (since I did
most of this on Windows too):
(1) I observed the problem with the Rcmdr package, including version
2.7-1, which is newly on CRAN. Presumably, it wouldn't be hard to
When I tried that on MacOS, it did the gs compression with gs_quality
set to "none", which does nothing. I don't know what quality CRAN uses,
but for me setting the environment variable GS_QUALITY=screen made a big
difference.

Dear Ben,
Actually, what I used was --compact-vignettes="both", with qpdf and gs
installed on my Windows and Mac machines, and that apparently didn't
work for me.

OK, I think I see the problem. tl;dr use --compact-vignettes="both"
when building the vignettes.
--compact-vignettes by default only tries qpdf.
when the R CMD check --as-cran is run, it tries both qpdf and gs.
Since gs (apparently, in this case) compresses more aggressively than

I don't know the answer to your question, but you can debug the
--compact-vignettes option as follows.
debug(tools::compactPDF)
tools:::.build_packages(c("--compact-vignettes", "pkgdir"))
where "pkgdir" is the directory of the source of your package. Add
extra options to the build as

Dear Ben,
I was hoping that someone would pick up on this problem, because I've
experienced the same issue of --compact-vignettes apparently ignored,
e.g., with the Rcmdr package under R 4.0.2 on both macOS and Windows.
