in principle you can append an image (xform) tit the pdf file, and then overload the old image object with the new content (using revision numbers of objects + extra xref table) but i never did that myself
Many thanks for your reply, Hans. Could this be implemented in ConTeXt? I guess that the new document generation could be achieved with something like: \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \starttext \insertpages[document.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext The command could be something like: \replaceexternalfigure[oldimagefile][newimagefile] BTW, I have just checked that file names include full paths (such as in "/PTEX.FileName (/home/ousia/cow.pdf)". I guess that it would be safe that searching and replacement mechanism could avoid full paths. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
