I second the preference for low-dependency counts. | One can use a Sweave vignette and simply include the real PDF with the | pdfpages package, c.f. | https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp/blob/master/vignettes/Rcpp-introduction.Rnw Indeed -- but credit where credit is due. This goes back to a short blog post by Mark which I referenced here a few times: https://www.markvanderloo.eu/yaRb/2019/01/11/add-a-static-pdf-vignette-to-an-r-package/ The underlying trick is a well-known latex feature that you can slurp pdf content into pdf output and also described in other places. But Mark's short and concise write-up should give everything you need to do this with just base R and nothing else (by relying on well-honed the Sweave workflow).
