What difficulties do you have?  The netpbm suite should cover
essentially all image formats.  Have a look, for example, at pnmtops:
Recent versions even allow to specify a native PostScript compression
filter (most notably /FlateDecode).

A PS file should be convertable to the EPS format with programs like
ps2epsi (in case it can be converted to the EPS format at all).

I believe that your question is rather: How can I embed JPG images and
the like so that they can be extracted as such after conversion of the
groff PS output file to the PDF format...

Keith?
