This is really important to do and it is really nice that somebody takes
care about that in an organized form. Free software is rather behind in
this direction.

This is not implemented in the current PDFedit version and I don't know
about any activity in that direction. On the other hand, PDFedit and its
core library enable working with a rather low-level PDF data structure
so it might be possible to add such a functionality.

Unfortunately, I don't think that the current PDFedit team (which
consists only from 3 people - working only occasionally) would be able
to get to this any soon. Our TODO list is really long and the time is
not on our side. Nevertheless, this might be an interesting project for
somebody from outside and I am quite sure that we will help with
consulting.
