Not sure about the inserting of pages, but you can store and “reassemble” a pdf by opening it as read binary, reading it into a variable, then saving the variable either as a property or stored in a database, or even encrypted in a file on the HD. (Not sure what the app would be for that…) I’ve often thought of storing my PDF forms in a database this way instead of on the HD.
