It needs a new feature.  If you are feeling brave (you must be if you
study raw PDF files) and want to submit a patch we would be delighted
to accept it or to help tidy it up;-)  This should be pretty easy, a new 
method in PDFdoc to make a dictionary/list structure and one on the 
canvas to give it a natural API.   Otherwise we will try to take a look 
but it might not be for 2-3 weeks and depends when we get a quiet hour.

Best Regards,
