I think one of the possible reasons why tools like this are so rare is because postscript and pdf are *intended* to be final, read-only, printer-(not human)-friendly formats. I was looking for a postscript editor several years back and couldn't find anything (other than emacs). Months after giving up I finally understood the cryptic answer the local guru gave me: "you're asking the wrong question." The (unsatisfactory) solution is to get the source document from which the ps or pdf was generated, edit *that*, then generate your new ps or pdf in the usuall way. If all you have is the ps or pdf, perhaps that too is intentional... Luck, Keith -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
