Hi Luigi,

That sounds like a definite reference ... probably more than I can
digest for a start :-(
Perhaps there's a simple, example-driven guide for dummies somewhere?
Like writing a simple PDF document with more than one page, non-
contiguous text blocks and perhaps a hyperlink by hand ...

Installed :-) OK, I've just managed to remove a page from a given PDF
file. Beyond that one will probably have to know more about PDF ...
for example, do you know how pdfedit can help me identify which object
in the raw PDF corresponds to a given blob of text on the page? After
selecting the blob I get some info on my selection that eludes me :-(

This looks very interesting!

I'm afraid, I don't understand :-(
Best,
