If it's a file you want to keep, it makes more sense IMHO to keep a
record of just what you did to get the size you want.  For that
reason, it's a better idea to set the width &/or height in the call to
pdf().  Peter Ehlers has told you how to use the 'width' argument.

For interactive use, the normal X11 window can be resized in the way
you would probably like.  I quite like the way R offers you two quite
different ways of doing such things.
