Which version of ghostscript did you use with some of the tools that you mentioned? print/ghostscript9 claims to support PDF <= 1.7, although it almost probably doesn't support every option/extension. Could you use it to transform the pdf to a format that could be edited or at least annotated (postscript, perhaps?) by one of the other tools, at least as an intermediate step? Or, have you tried a recent version of devel/itext?: http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/files/ b.
