[R] Bounding Box in pdf files

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Simple: PDF files do not have a BoundingBox so there is none to find 
(BoundingBox is associated with postscript files).  (The equivalent in a 
PDF file is the MediaBox or CropBox.)

You have not shown us the LaTeX, but the problem lies there.  I would 
expect you to need to use pdflatex if you want to include PDF graphics.

Please seem further help on a latex list.

Googling for 'Bounding Box PDF' led me lots of useful information.
