It does seem that HTML doesn't allow inline PDFs.

I think it worth while mentioning that I am looking for a "quick
preview" of my document, that also shows the images.

These are natively produced by R on the Mac as PDFs. I want to keep
them in vector format for the final report, so a) don't really want to
change the output from R, Or b) convert them to PNGs just to allow me
a quick Preview, which would no longer be "quick"

So the "strategy" is likely to be different depending on the needs of
the final graphic  to be part of finished document (eg a web page) or
a workaround to give a quick preview.

It has to be said that I can't get it to work via Latex either as  the
graphic component throws up errors during compile, If you ignore the
errors and still preview the output, the text is all there, but no
graphics.

I haven't spent any time trying to sort out the errors yet.
