PDF created by R is in vector format. If you really want smaller files
you can try creating PNGs instead. With a high enough resolution (e.g.
dpi=600) there won't be much difference in the printed version of your
document.

Eduardo,
It is not a good idea in general to use a non-scalable graphics
solution. In general png can be larger than pdf but other disadvantages
are more important.
When I have created curves in R that are composed of thousands of data
points, the compression of pdf I've achieved with pdftk has been amazing.

Thanks for this advice - and to second Gabor's experience: I just
tried it on a couple of my files and achieved reductions on the order
of 90% (28.6MB to 4.4MB and 1.5GB to 170MB)!
This file contains lots of small plots but also many scattersmooth()-
images ...
So I think it does quite well in my case.

I just tried it with a recent pdf that was generated from R on
Windows Vista
with "R version 2.9.1 Patched (2009-07-16 r48939)". This particular
one
was laden with many graphs and was reduced to 25% of the original
size so my experience with that one was that it made a huge
difference.

Gabor,
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried pdftk but it made very
little difference.
Regards,
David.
