Well, definitely there is a Convert as standard part of OSX located in
/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/.
It is used by Apple provided scripts "Convert To PDF.scpt" to convert
{"JPEG", "GIFf", "PICT", "TIFF", "PDF", "TEXT"} to PDF anb by
"Convert To PostScript.scpt" to convert same sources to PS.
Unfortunately there is no documentation on it, no man page, no usage help,
that should be something explaining
Usage: %s [-f <input filename>] [-o <output filename>] [-i <input mimetype>]
[-j <output mimetype>] [-P <PPD filename>] [-u] [-a <attribute string>] [-U
<username>] [-J <jobname] [-c <copies>] [-D]
i.e. list of supported <input mimetype> and <output mimetype> plus
<attribute string> or may be the role of <PPD filename>.
Probably with the right parameters this utility should be able to produce
PDF files with images at lower resolution.
just a guess
