I just want to document the simplest solution for editing PDF files.

Step 1: Convert the file to PostScript

Step 2: Directly edit PostScript file

In particular to add the text to specific position you will need to 
upload the file to gv and use the cursor to find the coordinates of 
the position where you want to add the text.
Then fire up that vi editor and add something like

gsave
/Times-Roman findfont 24 scalefont setfont
100 250 moveto
(Your text here) show
% more moveto/show pairs for the remainder of the page
grestore

before the last showpage in your PostScript file.

Step 3 Convert PostScript file back to PDF file.

Cheers,
Predrag
