Dear Albert ! I know that Okular is not a PDF editor ! But this should not bear
any thing on this issue due to the following facts:

1) 1st point (& most importantly) you are already implement this feature - but
in very bad way depending on Ghost script - so why not enhancing ALREADY
IMPLEMENTED feature ??

Please see this closed issue:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377456

You are, currently, using "Force rasterization" technique to achieve this as
following:
"File -> Print (Ctrl+P)", choose PDF printer, go to "Options -> PDF options",
and check the "Force rasterization"

So, you are already implement this EDIT feature ... ! However, it is very bad
because the following:
a. it lead to very huge size of output PDF,
b. lead to convert text based PDF into scanned like PDF,
c. lead to loss OCR feature in output PDF.

So, I would like to asking you, friendly, what is the contra-indication to
enhance & improve ALREADY IMPLEMENTED feature ? With new library that I
discovered:
a. no huge increase in size of output PDF file,
b. resolution not effected badly,
c. text based PDF will remain text based PDF,
d. scanned PDF will remain scanned PDF,
e. no loss of OCR in output PDF,
f. the process will be more simple from the current one: you can achieve this
just by creating "eraser" to achieve secure erasing in Non-representational
mode ....

>From my side, I'm ready to support you by money (donation) if you need money
support to add this useful feature for almost all PDF users.

2) currently, Okular is the only tool on Linux which is most suitable on to
apply this feature because this feature NEED a VIEWER to achieve it, & Okular
is the best from this point of view .....
