Thanks for your information. I will have a look at this

The problem here is that those PDFs are generated by scans. So in fact we are dealing with mostly images of notation here. The main tasks here are to add/delete pages, rotate single pages or "all uneven" etc. or crop borders for a section, selection, all etc. and in the end save them again. I think with some scripts it should be possible to do the decrompress/compress thing from pdf->images->pdf but still this leaves the point of pagewise editing. I don't know for sure but I think gimp or inkscape cannot do this.
