Well, I think Denny had it pretty well when he said:
       "http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/print/flpsed.html"

#grep -i PDF /usr/ports/print/flpsed/pkg-descr
Using pdftops, which is part of xpdf one can convert PDF documents to
    * Import and export PDF.  Therefore it can be used as a PDF editor.

It's up to Michael, though, to tell us how well it works, I suppose.  No
package in packages-6-current/Latest, so I'm building from src, and
headed for bed before it gets done I imagine.
