Libraries, v7, and pdf

[Dr. Hawkins]

I have an absolute need to be able to stick pages in and out of pdf files.
I don't need to change the number of pages; I'll just know that file
realimage.pdf needs to replace page 3 of a pdf I create through livecode's
pdf printing.  I'll have 2-3 of these to insert into 30-90 pages of output.

I'd *like* a solution that says the same across the various livecode
platforms, and a library seems the way to go (OK, *much* better would be
able to type

   print file realimage.pdf from 0,0 to 576,756 into 18,18,576+18,756

), but that doesn't seem to be in the cards.

So a library would seem to be the solution.  Either public domain, bsd, or
lgpl licensed.

I've found itext, but that seems to be shooting a fly with a cannon (though
I suppose I could trim 99% of its functionality out to save space . . .).

My understanding is that we'll be able to wrap arbitrary libraries into
version 7.  Does anyone have any other suggestions as to other libraries
(or another way to do this?  I suppose I could have five separate scripting
solutions by platform . . .)
