One pdf file with plots and text output

I use Sweave for this kind of purposes.
I was thinking about Sweave as well, but I don't understand how I can 
use it.

Let's say I have a source file, which defines a function

DoGrowthAll <- function()
   {
     pdf("GrowthAll.pdf", height=11, width=8, paper="a4")
     sink("GrowthAll.txt")
     try(
         {
           plot(x.lm)
           summary(xlm)
           .
           .
           .
         }
         )
     sink()
     dev.off()
     system("xpdf ./GrowthAll.pdf", wait=FALSE)
   }

Now how can I use Sweave to create this report?

Hi

I create one pdf file with plots via pdf() and one text file with 
text via sink() that works very nice. But I would prefer 
to have one 
pdf file with plots and the text which I store in the 
te=xt file via sink(). I.e.
x.lm<-lm(...)
pdf()
plot(x.lm)
NOW THE TEXT OF summary(xlm) IN THE PDF FILE
dev.off()

Is this possible or is there a different format which I could use?
You can easily post-process the files to obtain a single 
file.  Going 
from text to pdf involves many arbitrary choices, but a good text 
processor will help you make those and incorporate pdf figures: I 
would use pdflatex, but there are many other tools to do the job.

Thanks for pointing out the post-processing route (I have 
done similar script based pdf creations via pdflatex before), 
but I would like to have something only for me to make it 
easier to read the results.
It does not need to be nicely layouted - just the text in the 
pdf in whatever font would be fine.
