Is it possible to "optimize" a bitmap image I've imported into an Inkscape document, resizing it so it's stored at the document's resolution?

For example, if I import a 900px square image then resize it down to 1in, can I ask Inkscape to to re-render that image at 300 DPI so the image saved in the file is only 300px wide?

My goal is to reduce the size of the SVG file while still embedding the bitmaps.

Choose Edit > Make a Bitmap Copy to create a rasterised image with the same resolution as the document. This works equally good with vector graphics and imported bitmap images. Since bitmaps are uncompressed your SVG would probably increase in size, but with some luck your pdf export will take care of that for you.
