I've used a small LaTeX document like the one below, and pdflatex to do
this kind of thing in the past. It's probably quite easy to script it up
to automate it. It's not speedy but the resulting output is reasonably
compact.

HTH,

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[left=0cm,top=0cm,right=0cm,bottom=0cm,nohead,nofoot]{geometry}

\pdfcompresslevel=9
\hoffset=0cm
\voffset=0cm

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=20cm]{page1.png}
\clearpage
\includegraphics[width=20cm]{page2.png}
\clearpage
\includegraphics[width=20cm]{page3.png}
\clearpage
\end{document}
