using Perl to insert footer into PDF files?
|
|
| Alex Walker 2005-03-29, 8:56 pm |
| I'm a little new at PDF manipulation in Perl and I'm
not completely convinced that what I want to do is
even possible. Basically what i want to do is take a
multi-page PDF file and insert a footer onto the
bottom of every page along with sequential page
numbers. I've been tinkering with the PDF::API2
module, which looks promising but which appears to be
a little slim on documentation. Can someone point me
in the right direction on this?
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Maybe you could use a pdfcat utility, to cat the 2 pdf's together.
