I am failing to get compactPDF to make any change to a pdf file that, a/c to the message from the CRAN upload site, can be very substantially compacted. Any ideas what may be wrong?
I have also tried recreating the pdf file. I also tried R CMD build --resave-data --compact-vignettes DAAG The data files compact alright (but I get the 'significantly better compression' warning message that might suggest that this is not happening), but the pdf file appears to go into the package unmodified. <<<< > tools::compactPDF('/Users/johnm/packages/DAAG/inst/doc/', gs_quality = > "ebook") > dir('/Users/johnm/packages/DAAG/inst/doc/') [1] "rockArt.pdf" > sessionInfo() R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) locale: [1] C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.14.1 >>>> >From the Unix command line: jhm:doc johnm$ ls -lt /Users/johnm/packages/DAAG/inst/doc total 1368 -rw-r--r--@ 1 johnm staff 696762 2 Aug 12:35 rockArt.pdf Message from the CRAN upload site: * checking sizes of PDF files under ‘inst/doc’ ...
