You could convert the PDF to postscript, (not sure about an automatic converter but simply printing to a file does in most cases), locate the relevant bits and replace them in postscript (you'll need the Postscript book) then ps2pdf the remainder back again.
If this is for a large commercial job though there are some packages already written that do this sort of thing. I think Tower Software has some back-end packages for $$ as it's part of their main line of business. Google is probably the best bet in this case.

I am trying to insert the content of one pdf file into a particular section of another. For example if A has multiple headings as shown below, how do I insert the content of B immediately after Appendix 1 - without affecting the overall content? I'd like to script this if possible as there are quite a number of pdf files that have to be done. [ File A ] Heading 1 Content Heading 2 Content Appendix 1 >> Insert content from B << Appendix 2 Content Thanks, --SH -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug ---------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ---------------------- This email is intended only to be read or used by the addressee.
