Dear R Users,
I have three questions.
1) Is there a way to get the output tex file to include
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
and
\end{document}
so I can generate a PDF straight away. (I am trying to generate hundreds of
these and don't want to have to manually type this in every time I load a
tex file).
2) When I have have a table of greater than 9 columns, the columns to the
right tend to get cut off (see attached PDF "SNA cutoff"). Is it
possible
to specify that if the number of columns >9, continue the table below (see
attached PDF "Desired result". Excuse my crude editing skills but you
get
the idea).
3) This is not so related to R but I thought someone may know the answer.
Is there a way to maintain the image quality when I copy these tables into a
word document? The file "Desired result" shows how copying from the
original pdf ("SNA cutoff") drastically reduces the quality (note the
word
doc was re-converted to a PDF for posting).
Regards,
James

You could use these functions as models to write a dvipdf function.> > 2) When I have have a table of greater than 9 columns, the columns to the > right tend to get cut off (see attached PDF "SNA cutoff").

By all means use Insert ... Picture ... from file and directly insert pdf. In OpenOffice you can directly insert encapsulated postscript.

If you import an EPS file and there is no pre-existing preview image, a bitmapped preview image will be generated upon import. It is the bitmapped image that you will see visually on the display and this is the image that will be printed by default, as Office does not natively render EPS. As I recall, older versions of Office would just leave you with a box-like placeholder for the EPS image, with no other indication of the content. You need to print to a PS compatible printer in order for the EPS image to be used. The same general situation is in place for OO.org relative to EPS images. There is a beta version of an OO.org PDF import filter available here: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport however, my experience with it last fall was less than enthusiastic and it still has a ways to go. It looks like there have been no updates for a while. There are commercial applications available that can enable you to import a PDF file into Office and a Google search will yield many options. I have not tried any of them, so buyer beware. HTH, Marc Schwartz
