Try converting your images to jpeg.
Here is a message which I saved some months ago about this subject:
-------------------------------
the following example
\pdfoutput=1
\documentclass[a4paper, pdftex]{report}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.jpg}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{somepicture}
\end{document}
should work on your system, where somepicture.jpg is an existing image
in the same directory as example.tex.
If so, look for package(s) that may produce errors, else update pdftex
as well as graphicx (if there's a newer one, i don't know)

And another one:

You can use VTeX from Micropress, Inc. It can generate PDF files and can
include PS files natively. And the best: the Linux version is free.

I did not ttry out VTeX. Will probably some time.
