Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
Could this be implemented in ConTeXt?
I guess that the new document generation could be achieved with
something like:
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuplayout
[backspace=0pt,
topspace=0pt,
width=middle,
height=middle,
location=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt]
\starttext
\insertpages[document.pdf][width=0pt]
\stoptext
The command could be something like:
\replaceexternalfigure[oldimagefile][newimagefile]
BTW, I have just checked that file names include full paths (such as in
"/PTEX.FileName (/home/ousia/cow.pdf)". I guess that it would be safe
that searching and replacement mechanism could avoid full paths.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
