Sounds like you've done what you wanted, but another option is to edit the PDF down to a mark-up form you're happy with. PDFs tend to be fairly illegible because they're concerned about file size. They can be turned into a pure-text form with http://qpdf.sourceforge.net/ After editing, it can be turned back into a more typical PDF. QPDF can do quite a bit few other things with PDFs too. mupdf will also decompress streams with its -d option, but QPDF is more aimed at the decompress → edit → compress path.
