similar to: vignettes: problems with PDF compaction

Dear List, There seems to be an bug in compactPDF() or at least an inconsistency with the documented behaviour. The documentations states: Details: This by default makes use of ?qpdf?, available from <URL: http://qpdf.sourceforge.net/>, including a Windows binary. If ?gs_cmd? is non-empty, GhostScript is used. I don't have qpdf on my system so planned to use

Dear all, I run R CMD build --compact-vignettes="both" gRbase and/or R CMD build --compact-vignettes="gs+qpdf" gRbase and in the log from r-devel (on winbuilder) I get * checking sizes of PDF files under 'inst/doc' ...

I am using tools::compactPDF for reducing the size of some pdf-files with GhostScript. I had some trouble in the beginning as the documentation seems not to match the usage of the function. For GhostScript, one has to set the argument gs_cmd, which has the following description: gs_cmd - Character string giving the path to the GhostScript executable, if that is to be used. On Windows this is

Buenas tardes a todos, Estoy interesado en realizar varios gráficos y luego guardarlos individualmente como PDF. Hasta ahí todo bien. Sin embargo, el archivo resultante tiene aproximadamente 20MB. Podría alguien por favor indicarme cómo reducir su tamaño? A continuación un ejemplo de lo que intento hacer y mi sessionInfo(). Estoy usando Mac OS X. Muchas gracias, Jorge Ivan Velez # R code

Today, a package that has an HTML vignette (but no PDF vignette) failed R CMD check --as-cran on a system without qpdf. I think the warning originates here [1], due to a premature check for the existence of qpdf [2]. Setting R_QPDF=true (as in /bin/true) helped, but perhaps it's possible to check qpdf existence only when it matters. I have attached a patch (untested) that could serve as a

[Env: Win Xp / StatET 2.0 / R 2.15.0] In my heplots package I extended the HE-examples.Rnw vignette under inst/doc. The package passes R CMD check on my machine: * using log directory 'C:/eclipse-3.7/heplots.Rcheck' * using R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) * using platform: i386-pc-mingw32 (32-bit) ... * checking sizes of PDF files under 'inst/doc' ... OK * checking installed files

Hi, in help("R_GSCMD") it says "R_GSCMD: Optional. The path to Ghostscript, used by dev2bitmap, bitmap and embedFonts. Consulted when those functions are invoked.". However, if 'R_GSCMD' contains a full pathname to the Ghostscript executable (as above "path" indicates), e.g. > Sys.getenv("R_GSCMD") [1] "C:\\Program

This question was posed on SO : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58118495/passing-extra-argumenets-to-devtoolsbuild but there has been no useful reply. Something seems to have changed in the |devtools|package, so that the following commands, that used to run now give an error I can't decipher: |>Sys.setenv(R_GSCMD="C:/Program

I am failing to get compactPDF to make any change to a pdf file that, a/c to the message from the CRAN upload site, can be very substantially compacted. Any ideas what may be wrong? I have also tried recreating the pdf file. I also tried R CMD build --resave-data --compact-vignettes DAAG The data files compact alright (but I get the 'significantly better compression' warning message

Thank you. Another missing dependency pops up when running CMD check: * checking compiled code ... OK WARNING ?qpdf? is needed for checks on size

Hello all, I'm trying to build R 32bit from source in a Windows 64 machine. I have followed the steps in "R Installation and Adiministration" ( http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Getting-the-source-files) or at least I think I did everything described. I am not sure if I have installed the libjpeg, libtiff and libpng files though. I have upzipped them in the

Hi Avraham, What a coincidence, I have been following this post of yours: https://www.avrahamadler.com/2013/10/24/an-openblas-based-rblas-for-windows-64-step-by-step/ Looks like this post is slightly older than what you have shared previously. It is strange that you did not get the attachments. I am pasting the contents of the MkRules.local here:

Dear all, I am struggling with an issue related to static vignettes: they work, but only when present in double in the tarball -- in the folder inst/doc and vignettes; see below for details. Details: I am pre-compiling heavy vignettes thanks to the vignette builder R.rsp. So basically, I have PDF files which I want the package to use as Vignettes. For this, I have the following in my

A colleague designed a script for a bar plot, which I'd like to export to my directory via the barplot command: bitmap(file="barplot.tif", type="tifflzw", height=4, width=6.5, res=1250) Unfortunately, this command produces the following error message: Error in system(paste(gsexe, "-help"), intern = TRUE, invisible = TRUE) : 'gswin32c.exe' not found

It looks like the most recent SVN commit changed line 1068 of src/library/tools/R/admin.R to include a call to "shQuotee" (sic), which is now breaking Travis r-devel builds ...
