DCT stands for Discrete Cosine Transform,
and DCTEncode and DCTDecode are standard Level-2 PostScript "filters".

Most importantly, DCT is PostScript for JPEG! I don't know what kind of file format you have, but chances are that Acrobat or Ghostscript can turn them into
DCT and further encode them with the ASCII85 filter, so that it will have only printable characters.

.jpg files are usually fairly small (20-60 times smaller than equivalent hex images), and the ASCII85 filter does not add too much to it.

I think that what you want is doable, however, it needs quite a bit of PS knowledge.
