The only one I know that is not in Java is pdfedit, and is not a lib+program_for_ui, just a program.

It's a GPL'd C++ application written using the Qt3 libraries and boost. Their authors describes it as a program using "C++, XPDF, QT3 and QSA". Depends heavily on scripting (QSA).

Transforming it to a library could be tough, but it's a start.

It may be worthy investigating it, as it enables exactly what users are requesting (adding/editing text comments, adding objects, etc), and can be compiled and put on the iliad (it has a command-line version; the easiest path would be to modify it to do whatever is needed).
