I did that for a text that had mixed text/images once. Except I didn't write a Java application - I just used Gimp. Lots of manual labor but it's worth the effort when you can adjust the contrast of each image individually. And having everything but the images in pure black&white helps a lot getting the PDF down to managable size.
