I think it would pe possible to use LaTeX in this case, too. The
source PDF can be imported, but I think it needs to be converted
to ps or eps before. Then, the modification (add) can be done
with overlaying another image, and afterwards pdflatex (from the
teTeX package) can be used to create a PDF document again.

Anyway, while this is a possible way, it seems to be one of the
most over-complicated ones. :-)
