I'll also let you know about Inkscape, when I have a chance to try that out.

Perfect. I'm so pleased. This actually allows me to get around a serious issue (for academics, at least) with textbooks, since I can now get to a point where I can transform bought books so that they become 'citeable'.
Wow, I just tried the inkscape and pdftk solution, and that worked really well. Much better rendering than Illustrator, and the same book (using all 307 pages) was only 91 Meg.
