Yup. Been there, done that.

There is an interesting alternative to LaTeX called ConTeXt. Look at
http://www.pragma-ade.nl for some examples what you can do with ConTeXt.
It's very easy to produce good looking PDF documents with interactivity.
So my proposed environment:

Searching Freshmeat on "pdf" gives alot of different pdf things. There
is a pdflib with lots of documentation (if you can code). I got this

Different stuff. Pixmap images, vectorized ones... One of the important

You may want to try the lyx document processor to compose your document
www.lyx.org. Lyx can import your gimp file so long as it is saved as an EPS.
