PDF append help

Hi,
I need to append my multiple plots in pdf files. 
my problem is that I would want to run the R script a number times(closing
and opening) and still want to append. If i keep the dev.off() it wouldnt
let me see my plots while R is open.

any idea!!

You cannot just append to PDF files.  (Not just those generated by R, 
but any PDf fiiles: you can combine files but it involves changing 
them.)

Similarly, a PDF file that is incomplete (and it will be incomplete if 
the deviae is sitll open) cannot be viewed.

Technical note: the problem is that there is a table of objects at the 
end of the file.
