iText would be a programming library (Java/.NET) that could be used to |
| 14 |
do that. See http://lowagie.com/iText -- start with the Tutorials in |
| 15 |
order to see how you can modify existing PDFs. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
There's also pdftk, which can "stamp" PDFs onto each others. It uses |
| 18 |
iText internally and provides a CLI. |

Also, there's the Multivalent Tools. Quite nice stuff, too. |

If you were more specific about what kind of texts you want to add, |
| 23 |
there might be other suggestions. |
