I have colleagues who use powerpoint.  When I send my colleagues pdf files
or ps files, powerpoint
rejects them.  Powerpoint does accept some eps files.

I have been able to use pdf2ps to convert some pdf files into ps files, and
then manually
edit the ps file to eps files (following the comments in ?postscript, I
change the first line from
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
to
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
and remove the line
%%DocumentMedia: letter 612 792 0 () ()
)

For pdf and ps files that don't come from R, this construction of an eps
file is accepted by powerpoint.

For pdf and ps and eps files from R, this does not work.
powerpoint will not take the image.  instead it holds the icon, and it is
necessary to click on the
icon during the powerpoint presentation.  Clicking on the icon launches
Adobe or ghostview to display
the pdf or ps or eps file.

Does anyone know a workaround that will get vector graphics from R into
powerpoint?
win.metafile is not acceptable.  The resolution of emf files from R is
worse than png files.

Thanks
Rich
