I'd say that it really depends on how the PDF file itself is put together. If it's a bunch of scans or images (which if it's 220MB, it probably is), then ahi's suggestion should work well. If the various type examples are actually set as characters in the text using their respective typefaces, you may want to keep them as glyphs instead of rasterizing them (you can hit ctrl/cmd-D in Acrobat to see what fonts are embedded in the file). From how you've described it, though, it will probably be a matter of trial and error to find the right balance of quality and speed.
And yes, what is the book? As a typophile, I'm always on the lookout for type design and specimen books.
