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

[Env: OS: Win Xp; R 2.15.2; IDE: eclipse/StatET] Each time I update my heplots package, I get warnings from R CMD check on R-Forge, * checking sizes of PDF files under ?inst/doc? ... WARNING ?gs+qpdf? made some significant size reductions: compacted ?HE-examples.pdf? from 739Kb to 366Kb and upon submission to CRAN, a message from maintainers: On CRAN now: but again there were warnings

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

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

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

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

This question was posed on SO : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58118495/passing-extra-argumenets-to-devtoolsbuild but there has been no useful reply.

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

I would like to include a Mathematica notebook and cdf file (both are ASCII files) in the \inst\doc directory as supporting documentation. These files are not large, about 340K each one. When I check using R CMD check --as-cran ... I get the following warning: ...................... * checking data for ASCII and uncompressed saves ... OK WARNING 'qpdf' is needed for checks on size

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

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, My gRbase package imports functionality from the bioconductor packages graph, Rgraphviz and RBGL. To make installation of gRbase easy, I would like to have these bioconductor packages installed in connection with installation of gRbase, but to do so the user must use setRepositories() to make sure that R also installs packages from bioconductor. Having to call setRepositories causes

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 ...
