The approach I would take (possibly due to ignorance of a better option) is to export to the multiple .png files, then use a tool like imagemagick to combine them into a single pdf file.
For a quick test I exported 3 graphs from R and called them test1.png, test2.png, and test3.png. The imagemagick command is then just: convert test*.png test.pdf Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.
