It might be easiest to uncompress the PDF with pdftk and then just use perl for the substitution: 
   pdftk old.pdf output new.pdf uncompress
   perl -pi -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g' new.pdf

[download]
If you want to recompress the file, 
   pdftk new.pdf output new_compress.pdf compress

[download]
