The ONLY company that offers this technology is Apago (http://www.apago.com) in their PDF Enhancer product. The technology is called "Selective Rasterization" and works quite nicely (of course, I designed/architected it and wrote the associate code - so I am kind of biased ;).
It is NOT a trivial piece of work - which is one of the reason why no one else offers it...it took me a sizable amount of time, and I've been doing PDF for >10 years.

I have PDFs with text and graphics. They are very large, due to the graphics. I want to read each PDF and produce a new PDF with the text just as it was in the original, but rasterize the rest of the graphics into a fairly low res bitmap to be added behind the text, reducing the overall filesize of the bitmap. I do not need to manipulate the text, just replicate it. Everything else can be bitmapped. Any starting places would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
