[R] Pdf file size for very scatter plots

Dear all,

I am plotting a scatter plot for a large sample (1e+05 ordered pairs).
This produces a large (~5MB) file in a pdf or postscript terminal, and
I am wondering whether there are methods for reducing the size of the
resulting file so that it is easier to include it in a document. I'd
rather stick with pdf or ps as I am using latex.

thanks,
Nazareno
