Reducing size of vector EPS / PDF output [message #91446]

Folks,

I draw many glacier outlines on a plot (using old-school graphics and
cgPolygon and stuff). The EPS/PDF output looks great but the file size
is too large (> 6 Mb), simply because the level of precision of my
shapefiles is very high (much higher than necessary for the plot itself).

Do you know of any way to tell IDL's postscript to reduce the precision
of the vectorized output? Or, as a workaround, any external tool that
could do the job?

Thanks,

Fabien
