Dear list, Some times I want to modify the pdf file which produced by R with illustrator. But when I use Illustrator open the pdf file, it often makes the pdf some little changed. Anyone have some suggestions? Is it better to use other file type, not pdf? Or when I produced the pdf, I should set some other parameters? Thank you

Perhaps a format with a representation in a more human readable form helps...
