Pretty dumb really. Especially when PDF has so many enhancements over PS 
that should make this kind of thing really easy.

In principle it shouldn't be too hard.

In fact, in principle you can ask Ghostscript to convert the PDF into 
PostScript and edit the thing by hand. In practice, this turns out to 
be...rather hard.

(Not many people know this, but you *can* in fact write PDF files using 
only Notepad. You'd have to be insane to try it though...)
