I think you guys are going about this the hard way.

PDF is a display format, not a layout format.

to make pdfs just print your layout fomat to postscript and then use one of
a number of tools (pstopdf springs to mind, gomes in the gs package).

To edit you edit in the layout format, and then make a new pdf from that.

it's possilbe (but very painful) to edit pdf, but the format really wasn't
designed with that in mind.
