Question on the logic of DynaPDF

Extras

Hello all and happy holidays!

I’ve been tinkering with DynaPDF and I’ve got a rather fundamental question on how it works:

I’ve come to understand that there’s no such thing as opening an existing PDF file and manipulating its contents and then saving changes in this same file. It rather starts a new PDF file, imports the contents of the existing file, does all the work in there and then saves to the new file. If you want it to look as if you were doing the changes to the original file, you need to overwrite the original with the new file.

Is this description accurate, or am I missing something here?

Thanks!

The description is accurate for any PDF manipulation. It’s the way PDF works.

Yes. You have a working PDF and you open one or more import PDF. Then you can import one, several or all pages once or multiple times from one or several PDF.

And once pages are imported, you can open them for editing and for example and page numbers.
