On Mac OS X there are free programs such as "PDFLab" and "Combine PDFs"
which lets you stitch together various and sundry PDF documents into a
single PDF document. There may be a similar utility in whatever OS
you're using. Otherwise I'm fairly sure Adobe Acrobat would allow you
do do something similar. This may be a good starting point...

For PNG files Adobe Photoshop/ImageReady are a very capable team for
putting together images and boiling them down with optimizations to
very small file sizes.
Postscript files can be edited with a simple text editor, but you have
to know the language. Ghostscript is the open source tool of choice for
playing around with these things.
Hope this helps.

Dear Tech Specs-
Would anyone have a tip on how to mix graphics and associated/extra tabular data into one exportable document? I've figured out how to create PDF/PS/PNG files with the charts only. Going forward, the most likely format I'll be using is PDF.
I understand there are a number of powerful languages to manipulate R, namely Perl, Python, etc. but they are much further down on the to do list. I would like to get up to speed on a method quickly.
Is Sweave the short term answer?
Thanks for your time.
