   Two possible reasons.   
      
   - I want to add annotations (e.g. I periodically dump my bank account   
      record of transactions, and wanto to add a sequence number to each   
      operation) ... procedure, open pdf with libreoffice, place my text   
      label, (re-)export as pdf, quit original file unsaved   
      
   - I receive from some administration a pdf document containing a form   
      (it is NOT a "pdf form", their fault) which in principle should be   
      filled, signed, printed, scanned and returned (sic!) instead .,,   
      
      ... open pdf with libreoffice, insert wished text, insert scanned   
      pmg woith my signasture, export as pdf andf send resulting file
