Colleagues,

I am creating a PDF document from R using pdf(), the document contains text / 
images created with R.  I also have an image in either PDF / TIFF / JPEG format 
(in this case, a scanned image saved as a file).

I would like to insert the image into the PDF file.  Any ideas on how to 
accomplish this?

Just to offer an additional option since Dennis is on OSX, if you are on 10.6.x 
(Snow Leopard), you can view this YouTube video:

   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF_WgXAfMP0

which describes how to combine/insert pages from multiple document types that 
OSX' Preview can open.

If you are on Leopard (10.5.x), the drag and drop behavior, as noted in the 
above video, is somewhat different and you may wish to view this page:

   
http://macintoshhowto.com/leopard/how-to-merge-pdf-files-with-preview-in-leopard.html

This presumes that you want the scanned image on a separate page, rather than 
combined on the same page as your pdf() output. Since PDF is a native format on 
OSX, you can take advantage of built-in functionality to manipulate these files.

Of course using Sweave is yet another option.

Also see the new rasterImage() and grid.raster() functions in R 2.11.*
