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...)
