Subject: [R-pkg-devel] Problem with "compacting" pdf files.
When I submitted an update of my Iso package a short time ago, it was
rejected as not passing the incoming checks automatically. Explicitly,
I got a WARNING:
> * checking sizes of PDF files under 'inst/doc' ... WARNING
> 'gs+qpdf' made some significant size reductions:
> compacted 'algorithm.pdf' from 394Kb to 99Kb
> consider running tools::compactPDF(gs_quality = "ebook") on these
> files
I did as instructed and ran
tools::compactPDF("./algorithm.pdf",gs_quality="ebook")
having started R in the inst/vignettes directory, which is where the
file algorithm.pdf is to be found.
According to "ls -l" the size of algorithm.pdf was about 109 Kb. before
I ran compactPDF() and about 90 Kb. afterward.
I do not understand:
* the reference to inst/doc (there is no such directory)
* where the sizes 349 Kb and 99 Kb come from
* what I have to do to get Iso to pass the required checks
The email that I received from CRAN (under the return address
ligges at statistik.tu-dortmund.de) said:
> If you are not sure how to fix the problems shown, please ask for
> help on the R-package-devel mailing list:
Consequently I am asking! Can anyone set me on the path to
enlightenment? Thanks.
cheers,
