Hi Craig, Just out of curiosity, what issues are you having with the pdf-image-plugin? I spent quite a lot of time with it and submitted a patch to Jeremias (not sure if he's committed it). Maybe we could help you there? We've also got some commits lying around that we're not happy with per-se because they sacrifice rendered fidelity for file size that may help you.
Let us know what you've done and what you're trying to do in a new thread and I'll let you know if we can help.
