What is the fastest way to determine the dpi resolution of bitmaps in a PDF file you are given?

I don't know of a PDF reader that displays this information.

You can import the PDF into indesign or coreldraw and look at the bitmap resolution there one by one for each image.

I would also like to know if anyone has a one-step method to display the bitmap resolution for bitmaps in a PDF file you are given, other than plain-old visual inspection (good enough, not good enough.) It would be handy when given a PDF to open for a quick check and immediately tell customer if any bitmap is not optimal resolution.

Enfocus PitStop (a plug-in app for Acrobat) has a tool Inspector that gives you stats on not only resolution, but color space, text used, colors, color conversions, and so on. I have found it to be the best all-around PDF editor and for that reason as well as many many others.
It is not cheap, but it will pay for itself 100 times over in six months of use.
