I'm assuming that since you are creating PDF, you've got some program that can act as a PDF printer. All you really need is something that has a fit to page command for your images and a PDF printer driver.
One reason I like Open Office is the PDF output. I'm still looking for the fit to page option.

I found an easy solution. Instead of resizing the image, I changed the page size. It's only a partial solution, though, because the resulting PDF is about 427MB in size, and the original images were about 45MB. I'm going to down convert the images. I might also need a different PDF printer.
