Here's another regular use-case for exporting images:

  1. Stick the JPEG image in a separate layer
  2. Image the image.
  3. Export the rest of the page (textual content) page as PDF
  4. Hide the rest of the page contents layer
  5. Unhide the image layer
  6. Export the JPEG image (only) to an .eps
  7. Hand-hack the image-only.eps %%BoundingBox to be 0 0 842 595
  8. epstopdf on the exported image-only.eps EPS
  9. pdftk image-only.pdf background rest-of-page.pdf output both.pdf to get a sensibly compressed/sized accessible PDF.

Step 7. should be unnecessary given I've ticked the box saying the BoundingBox should be the page!
