Two years ago i begun working in a PDFeditor using the libraries of the
Haru project:

http://libharu.sourceforge.net/

and the pdftk tools. I added UTF-8 support to the .deb packages of
libhpdf (haru). That project allowed you to insert text and logos... to
draw lines... in a pdf with X number of pages. There were no many
tipographic fonts compatible with UTF-8 in haru, but DejaVuSans was one
of them.

Will still immature, I don't want to share the code. For the time being :)

Cheers,

Aitor.
