There is the 'pdftk' (PDF tool kit) that you will find on the web that will do the job. ?I have used it to both combine and split out the pages in the PDF file.
yes, thx. GUI tools like www.pdfsam.org do the job too. But is there a
possibility to append files directly in R. That is to invoke "pdftk" inside
R with a "shellandwait"?
perhaps something like
for (i in ...) {
?...
?savePlot(filename="temp.pdf", type="pdf")
?exec pdftk temp.pdf final.pdf cat output final.pdf
}
