Strange, I want to ask you the same question.
Especially with your annoying quoting style (TOFU)
I don't know which part of my answer you are referring to.

Again, your quoting style doesn't show what you mean with "this".
Are you referring to your previous question?

  experiments. But some familiarity with the pdf specification

* Why do you want to "edit" pdf files?

  Here I wrote about "looking" (=viewing).

  a) Knowledge of the PDF format.
  b) Editor.

  But why do you want to edit PDF files?
  But I doubt that you want to do it.
