You cannot just append to PDF files. (Not just those generated by R, but any PDf fiiles: you can combine files but it involves changing them.)

Similarly, a PDF file that is incomplete (and it will be incomplete if the deviae is sitll open) cannot be viewed.

Technical note: the problem is that there is a table of objects at the end of the file.

Hi,
I need to append my multiple plots in pdf files.
my problem is that I would want to run the R script a number times(closing
and opening) and still want to append. If i keep the dev.off() it wouldnt
let me see my plots while R is open.

any idea!!

Hi Ramya,

Perhaps

pdf("C:/100plots.pdf")
for(i in 1:100) plot(rnorm(10), type='b', main='My 100 plots')
dev.off()

HTH,

Jorge

hi there,

Is there any function to append the pdf file.

I want to write in a pdf file some 100 plots(in one single pdf containing
100 plots) while all the plot are created using a for loop.

I can create 100 pdf one for each for each plot using a for loop but i
want
only one pdf with 100 plots.
