Good reason to revert the patch, although maybe this should be made
even more clear as otherwise people will simply save into
a temporary file and move over the existing file, as is commonly
done when using e.g. the shell redirection features, which also
don't do in-place replacements.

Maybe there should be a warning?

Or even better: isn't there an alternative PDF library we could use,
one that doesn't suck? Or does that just not exist?
