That's more or less what I told Edi (without the technical details ;-).
But doesn't this have the problem that you have to know the position
of the page numbers on the page?  In other words, this is not a general
solution but would only work for documents where you figure out the page
number position by looking at the document (with your eyes, not with the
pdf parser), right?

No problem Marc.  I thought you gave me special treatment by mentioning
me in the file itself instead of in contributors.txt like everybody else ;-)
