Replacing pdfjoin with pdfedit?

I have the following pdfjoin command (to join multiple PDF-files into one):
result.pdf: $(SOURCES)
    pdfjoin $(SOURCES) --outfile result.pdf

But it fails for certain input. So now I am trying to replace it with
the corresponding pdfedit command. I figured out that it should probably
look something like this:
result.pdf: $(SOURCES)
    pdfedit -eval "Something $(SOURCES) ... result.pdf"

Does anyone have a clue?

scripting and selection(s)

Hi all,

I need help to script an action that could easily done in the GUI, but I
can't find any example or hint for a script. Basically I need to delete
the background of every page. In the GUI the action are:

for every page # 1
    select the background \
      (in the tree explorer I see: Do Operator; Parameter 1: R8) #2
    delete the object \
      (in the console I see: deleteObjectsInTree()) #3

I found docs and examples for scripting #1 and #3 but not for #2.

I'm using pdfedit 0.4.1

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

No, unfortunately, it does not at the moment, but this feature is on
TODO list.

PDFedit currently doesn't support new (from scratch) PDF documents
creation. We do support only editing of already existing documents.

What exactly do you want to accomplish?

There are a few things that I used to do with Scribis that would be nice 
to do in PDFedit, but if it can't create pdfs, I guess I can always 
export then re-edit.

Exactly! This is the main motivation behind PDFedit. There are lots of
PDF creators out there, but there is lack of editors. That's why we
focused on editing part.

This part is also included in the patch. Unfortunately I don't know
about any software which would enable document history browsing. What is
clear, though, all PDF viewers have to display the most recent revision.
