Please do tell us exactly what you are doing via a reproducible example
(see the footer to every R-help message).
I added paper="special" to postscript() to make this easier: are you using
it? From the help page
The postscript produced for a single R plot is EPS (_Encapsulated
PostScript_) compatible, and can be included into other documents,
e.g., into LaTeX, using '\includegraphics{<filename>}'. For use
in this way you will probably want to set 'horizontal = FALSE,
onefile = FALSE, paper = "special"'. Note that the bounding box
is for the device region: if you find the white space around the
plot region excessive, reduce the margins of the figure region via
'par(mar=)'.
Further, I wrote a pdf() driver to make this easier, so why use
postscript) to make a PDF presentation?
'Adobe' is a company, not a software package. Which of its products did
you mean?

Perhaps reading the help pages would solve this? See the quote above.
