Just to offer an additional option since Dennis is on OSX, if you are on 10.6.x (Snow Leopard), you can view this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF_WgXAfMP0 which describes how to combine/insert pages from multiple document types that OSX' Preview can open. If you are on Leopard (10.5.x), the drag and drop behavior, as noted in the above video, is somewhat different and you may wish to view this page: http://macintoshhowto.com/leopard/how-to-merge-pdf-files-with-preview-in-leopard.html This presumes that you want the scanned image on a separate page, rather than combined on the same page as your pdf() output. Since PDF is a native format on OSX, you can take advantage of built-in functionality to manipulate these files. Of course using Sweave is yet another option.
