Hello Dieter,
Looking at this thread (from 2005)
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/10/14320.html
It seems you can't read a pdf file to R (at least then, I hope there was an
update since).
BUT
You could potentially read an image file (like, for example, tiff) using
something like
read.picture {SoPhy}
And then write that into the PDF you are creating in R.
The best thing is if there was some function to read a vector file into R
(and not only the pixel). Maybe such a function exits, you should check.
Either way, great question.
