Some .pdf do not contain text but only a picture of a document. I wonder if 
there is any special pdf tool that would work on them.
On a document that is a form to be filled the Gimp can be used (yes, I tried 
that) because exact character shape and placement is not required.
Modifying neatly any other form of document that appears as a picture would 
involve a lot of work.
