Paper "PDF Editing and Processing" at IPC 10?

[Jeff Hinrichs]

I was at the presentation.  It was a system that parsed pdf files in to
pythonic objects and structures and allowed for editing and saving existing
pdf docs.  It was written completely in python.  The down side is that the
presenter had no code to show or share and seemed quite taken aback when
requests were made.

He said in a "few months" after the code had been "cleaned up."  So, it
doesn't appear as though they will be releasing it.   Too bad, it was quite
interesting.
