While the PDFlib/PDI combo is the only way that's actually been stated to work... It bears remembering that PDF files are modified Postscript, and tools to convert PDF to/from Postscript do exist. Perhaps you can build something by converting the PDF to PS, which should be text you can read and manipulate, then convert back to PDF. The utilities I'm thinking of are ps2pdf and pdf2ps, which seem to be part of the Ghostscript package and ship with most Linux distros...
