There's no obvious way to find the location of an image
in an existing PDF in general. You would understand why
not if you read the PDF Reference Manual. You'd have to
parse the page content and keep track of the state,
especially the transformation matrix.

Your best shot is to replace the images.

Too bad, you should consider using another tool to create
the PDFs or post process manually with another tool.
