That makes sense then, why the file size grows when I delete things. But if
I use pdftk to uncompress a PDF; delete things from the uncompressed PDF;
use pdftk to re-compress the file; I wind up with a file smaller than the
original. I guess the compression step throws away the previous revisions?
It might take a few extra steps but it seems like it can be done. Maybe that
functionality can be incorporated into pdfedit but as long as it can be done
with other tools my wish-list for pdfedit remains:
1) search and replace / search and delete (scriptable!)
2) redaction
2) search and redact
Thanks!
