Hi Liviu, Thanks for the link. I wasn't even aware that this project existed. (I sincerely hope that I will eventually overcome my own ignorance.)
Anything that will make pdftk easier to ease and more accessible to others is a worthy endeavor. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that it meets the specific need I describe (direct manipulation of images, downsampling high resolution images, conversion of color space, etc. versus simple compression and optimization). For that matter, I don't think even the command line version of pdftk is capable of directly manipulating images. I'll look into this option, though. If it is possible to aid an existing (and maintained) project, I consider that vastly superior to dumping more alpha quality, unmaintained code into the world.
