Before going through the process and effort, have you verified that
by converting the BMP to GIF in the Frame files, that the PDF will
get acceptably smaller?
If my requirement was a smaller PDF, I'd play more with the Distiller
compression routines. Maybe you can optimize the PDF for a resolution
more inline with your viewing/printing requirements?
I only say this because a previous gig was optimizing their PDFs for
press quality and the highest res printer they had was 600dpi laser.
PDFs went to half the size. (the some is good, more is better syndrome).
