Sure. "Just do it" -- in the sense that you can create five-line Sweave
vignette wrappers around existing pdf files.  See

  
https://www.markvanderloo.eu/yaRb/2019/01/11/add-a-static-pdf-vignette-to-an-r-package/

I do the same now in a number of packages, for example my anytime repo

Re: [R-pkg-devel] bioRxiv Preprint as Vignette

Disclaimer, I'm the author: You can include a static PDF using the
R.rsp::asis vignette engine:

  
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/R.rsp/vignettes/R_packages-Static_PDF_and_HTML_vignettes.pdf

Better is if you've got the LaTeX source (with figures etc.), then use
the R.rsp::tex vignette engine:

  
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/R.rsp/vignettes/R_packages-LaTeX_vignettes.pdf

/Henrik

PS. On a side, should LaTeX-to-PDF (as in R.rsp::tex) be part of base
R?  That seems non-controversial to me.  In contrast, including static
PDFs and HTMLs requires a debate whether this is a good thing or not,
e.g. the risk of decoupling/losing the original source artifact and
it's only the final PDF/HTML artifact that is archived on CRAN.

[R-pkg-devel] bioRxiv Preprint as Vignette

2019-11-30 Thread Charith Karunarathna 
Hi,


I am just wondering about how I can include a bioRxiv preprint as the vignette 
of my R package. It's a pdf file already in bioRxiv. Could you please let me 
know how I can include that file as vignette?


Thank you in advance!


Charith.
