Could you not batch convert to line art in Photoshop?

Subject: [PDF] Convert 24bit color to bi-tonal

I am working on a project that requires scanning over 100,000 pages in 
24bit color.  The client wants these pages scanned in color for archival

purposes.  I am then taking the files and creating PDFs.

The majority of the pages are just black & white.

For scanning, I am using the Xerox Digipath 3.0 system which, 
unfortunately, does not automatically recognize color vs bitonal content

(it requires manually changing the settings from color to bi-tonal).
This 
is not an option because of the time that it takes.

The result is a pdf file that is larger than it needs to be.

Is anyone aware of a utility that can (in batch mode) look a folder of 
tiffs (or at a PDF), detect wether or not there is any color on the page

and if there isn't, convert that page to bi-tonal?

Thanks in advance!

Jeff
