Subject: Failure to get compactPDF to compact a pdf file
I am failing to get compactPDF to make any change to a pdf file
that, a/c to the message from the CRAN upload site, can be very
substantially compacted. Any ideas what may be wrong?
I have also tried recreating the pdf file. I also tried
R CMD build --resave-data --compact-vignettes DAAG
The data files compact alright (but I get the 'significantly better compression'
warning message that might suggest that this is not happening), but the pdf
file appears to go into the package unmodified.
