adding a logo to a grid.table PDF output in R - r

Question

I have a table output in pdf format and I want to customise it to bring in line with a corporate theme. However, I'm new to this area in R and still finding it difficult to find my feet in adding logos.
My original dataset is composed of over 600 rows of data and is sensitive, so I've used a sample dataset to demonstrate. So far, I've got the following code using the grid and gridExtra packages:
library(grid)
library(gridExtra)
Data <- data.frame(Staff = c("Rod","Barry","Cheiny"),
M1 = c(50,40,55),
M2 = c(60,50,55),
M3 = c(55,50,45))
maxrow <- c(35);
npages <- ceiling(nrow(Data)/maxrow);
pdf("Data.pdf", height = 11, width = 10)
idx <- seq(1, maxrow)
grid.table(Data, rows = NULL, theme = ttheme_minimal())
grid.text("data",gp = gpar(fontsize = 12,fontface = "bold",alpha = 0.5),
vjust = -40,
hjust = -0.5)
for (i in 2:npages){
grid.newpage();
if(i*maxrow <= nrow(Data)) {
idx <- seq(1+((i-1)*maxrow), i*maxrow)
}else{
idx <- seq(1+((i-1)*maxrow), nrow(Data))
}
grid.table(Data, rows =NULL, theme = ttheme_minimal())
}
dev.off()
I'm getting a reasonable output at the moment, but I want to add a logo to each of the pages generated.
Anyone know how to add a logo that will repeat across all the pages?

It's easy to add elements with grid.draw(), but the design is up to you
library(grid)
library(gridExtra)
Data <- data.frame(Staff = c("Rod","Barry","Cheiny"),
M1 = c(50,40,55),
M2 = c(60,50,55),
M3 = c(55,50,45))
library(png)
img <- readPNG(system.file("img", "Rlogo.png", package="png"))
footer <- grobTree(rectGrob(y=0,vjust=0,gp=gpar(fill="grey97",col=NA), height=unit(1,"in")),
textGrob(y=unit(0.5,"in"), expression(Corporate^TM~line~(c))),
rasterGrob(img, x=1, hjust=1,y=unit(0.5,"in"),height=unit(1,"in")-unit(2,"mm")))
maxrow <- c(35);
npages <- ceiling(nrow(Data)/maxrow);
pdf("Data.pdf", height = 11, width = 10)
idx <- seq(1, maxrow)
grid.table(Data, rows = NULL, theme = ttheme_minimal())
grid.draw(footer)
grid.text("data",gp = gpar(fontsize = 12,fontface = "bold",alpha = 0.5),
vjust = -40,
hjust = -0.5)
for (i in 2:npages){
grid.newpage();
if(i*maxrow <= nrow(Data)) {
idx <- seq(1+((i-1)*maxrow), i*maxrow)
}else{
idx <- seq(1+((i-1)*maxrow), nrow(Data))
}
grid.table(Data, rows =NULL, theme = ttheme_minimal())
grid.draw(footer)
}
dev.off()
