Subject: Embedding PDF into RTF document via R language
R 3.4.1
OS X and Windows
Colleagues
I have a complicated problem that includes several components:
R
RTF
PDF
Using R (and a slew of RTF commands), I assemble a text document with an RTF extension. The document contains text, tables, and images (JPEG format, previously created with R).
To ?import? the JPEG images into the document, I use the following R code:
cat("\\pard\\qc {\\pict\\jpegblip\n", file=TEMPREPORT, append=T)
cat(toupper(readBin(IMAGEFILE, "raw", 10000000)), fill=64, sep="",file=TEMPREPORT, append=T)
cat("\n}\\par\\ql", file=TEMPREPORT, append=T)
The critical text is:
jpegblip ? which presumably informs the RTF reader that what follows is a JPEG
readBin ? which reads the JPEG file
When the JPEG images are created, I also create identical PDF versions. I would like, if possible, to ?import? the PDF versions (instead of the JPEG versions) into the RTF document.
I see two issues:
1. It is not obvious what should replace the jpegblip command
2. Is readBin the appropriate command to embed the PDF
I realize that this is not strictly an R issue but support for R is far better than that for RTF.
Any help would be appreciated.
