XBRL:

http://arelle.org (python-based)
http://www.xbrlapi.org/ (java-based)
http://code.google.com/p/xbrlware/ (community edition; ruby-based)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/inlinexbrl/

What do your compatriots have to say about open-source options?

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?:
