Re: Help needed to do minor edits to PDF file

Thks all, but I switched languages! :)

I've discovered that, using C++ and the PDF API from Adobe, things are
100x easier, and since all I care is about automating the process and
not what language/API is used, that is what I'm working with for now
and it's pretty much done at this point...

Thanks anyway,
