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
}
