I've been waiting a thousand years for something like this - fantastic!
Once this is cleaned up a bit, I will be using it every day - I'll get
around to explaining why and how when I've got more time.
Problems up to now:
1. Very slow to load with big files. Unelegantly but a lot quicker, I
can get around this problem by splitting the big file into 1-page files
with PDFTK Builder, for example, working on the pages that I want to
modify, and then rebuilding the file, again with PDFTK Builder.
2. It takes the orientation (landscape or portrait) of the last page in
the file as the orientation for the whole file on loading; when I change
the orientation of one page, it changes all other pages in the file to
conform to this change.
3. Justified text became unjustified with one file.
4. Tables with boxes: With one document, the boxes structure of the
table was perfectly rendered, but the contents of most, but not all, of
the boxes were shunted over to the left of the page as if the boxes were
not there. But with several other files the reverse happened - the
contents were perfectly rendered, but the lines of the boxes were all
over the page in an apparently random way. (Yeah, I know, it's not truly
random ... at least, I hope not!)
