latex file.tex
dvips -Ppdf -o file-pics.ps file.dvi
ps2pdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None file-pics.ps file-pics.pdf
pdflatex file.tex


"file" is your filename

- the latex run creates the images in a file named file.dvi
   and _no_ text in this dvi file
- dvips converts the images to ps in a file named file-pics.pdf
- ps2pdf converts it to pdf
- pdflatex is the default latex run


addtitional bib and index runs as usual.

you didn't create your image file. The easiest way is to create a shell 
script.
