snip

For the record: off-list it was determined that these large image files
could easily be converted to relatively high-resolution (but much
smaller) png images using the convert tool of ImageMagick, and the
document could then be compiled directly to pdf using pdflatex. Only the
scaling factors in the source document will need to be adjusted.
