Well, you can edit them as much as any other image in GIMP. You won't be
able to save to PDF again, and even if someone adds this to the pdf
plug-in (which would then save layers as pages, I guess), it would then
be a collection of images.

This is only about someone who couldn't modify PATH (or GS_PROG) to
include the location of gswin32c, apparently.

I never had any problems with ghostscript as long as it had been
required, and I refuse to believe that setting this up correctly does
require any special talents other than reading.

HTH,
