So what joy have others had, or is this the Holy Grail [3]?


I think you are looking at it the wrong way. PDF is supposed to be an "end format". It is not designed for re-editing the documents. The practical solution to this problem is that, you should get hold of the document that was exported into pdf, edit the original document and export it back to pdf
again.

For example, if you are writing a .tm file and exported it into .pdf. Then
you need to get the .tm file, edit it and then export it again.


unfort not an option since many files are from a journal etc
