Re: [Pdfedit-support] How to save changes in a "non-incremental update" way?

Well, I just realize that there is a "flatten" tool that:
- ask for an existing (PDF) file path; and then
- ask for an output (PDF) file path; and then
- save into the second file the last version of every object into the
first file.
So, this seems to do what I need, but not in the way I expected to: do
I really need to save the current changes, and then invoke the flatten
tool with the file path? Am I really unable to just process the
current (in-memory) document?

Any way, all I need now is to know how to script my goal:
- open a PDF file;
- make some texts replacements;
- (optionally) draw lines/rects at fixed positions;
- save the document ensuring that it will contain just one revision.
The only way I know so far for achieving this, is to save first the
document with new revisions and then pass its path to the flatten
tool, but even this way, I don't know how to write an script for all
this. Any help?

In the meanwhile, I will look deep into the code trying to find a way
to use a shortcut.
