I think someone needs to build an editor for PDF files. Maybe macros
for emacs or vim.

I'm interested in being able to perform simple edits on PDF files.
For example, I might want to be able to change the colors of some
characters and output the changed version.
I looked ad Apple's PDFKit, thinking there might be a solution, but
no. Lots of stuff for searching, annotating, and rearranging pages
- but no low-level editing functions like you describe. Which makes
sense - PDF is really more of a delivery format than an editing
format.
Do you have control over the source of these PDF documents? If so,
you could make your changes there, and maybe use Automator to build
up a workflow to create and manage the PDFs.
