It does not seem to be possible, at least I did not get any response which I could use to implement my idea (create my dev.off(), which calls dev.off() and afterwards compresses the pdf by using the file name).
If you find a solution, please let me know. Cheers, Rainer If It is not possible, how can I create a gzip with the pdf? > > Thanks > Daniele A. > > > > ________________________________ > ORS Srl > > Via Agostino Morando 1/3 12060 Roddi (Cn) - Italy > Tel. +39 0173 620211 > Fax. +39 0173 620299 / +39 0173 433111 > Web Site www.ors.it > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Qualsiasi utilizzo non autorizzato del presente messaggio e dei suoi > allegati ? vietato e potrebbe costituire reato. > Se lei avesse ricevuto erroneamente questo messaggio, Le saremmo grati se > provvedesse alla distruzione dello stesso > e degli eventuali allegati. > Opinioni, conclusioni o altre informazioni riportate nella e-mail, che non > siano relative alle attivit? e/o > alla missione aziendale di O.R.S.
