I'm going to give you the same answer i give to the people that suggest adding PDF page removal/adition/sorting to Okular.

I don't think Okular is the proper place for this and a "Simple PDF editor" application would be much easier, both in code (since you don't need to create public API for all that since Okular is not a PDF tool) and in user interface (since editing usually has different requirements to viewing).

If you have questions about poppler i suggest you make them in the poppler mailing list :)

Cheers,
  Albert
