The "kosher" method of doing this kind of thing (and a host
of other interactive elements in a PDF file) would be to
incorporate a so-called PDFmark into the PDF code. See for
instance:

books/pdfmark-primer/

There are various ways of doing this in some document-preparation
programs, but I don't know whether it would be easy to do this
when creating a PDF in R. In mt experience, this involves first
passing via PostScript.

Any comments, anyone?
