The closest to a canonical reference for a static vignette is the basic blog post by Mark at
https://www.markvanderloo.eu/yaRb/2019/01/11/add-a-static-pdf-vignette-to-an-r-package/ which I follow in a number of packages. Back to the original point by Alexandre: No, I do _not_ think we can do without a double copy of the _pre-made_ pdf ("input") and the _resulting_ pdf ("output"). That bugs me a little too but I take it as a given as static / pre-made vignettes are non-standard (given lack of any mention in WRE, and the pretty obvious violation of the "spirit of the law" of vignette which is after all made to run code, not to avoid it). Yet uses for static vignettes are pretty valid and here we are with another clear as mud situation.
