Author Perl module PDF::API2

Hi all,

I'm trying to generate a PDF index file for CDs with thumb nail images
and image titles.

I searched CPAN and find out PDF::API2 is the right module to use.
However, there isn't much documentation or examples to help me to
understand how it works.

I read through old topics posted to this group but haven't got any
clue how to start with images.

Has anybody done something similar with PDF::API2? Could anyone help
me to get started?

Any comments will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Mei

Hi Mei,

I've been trying to learn PDF::API2 as well. I just bought a book(Perl
Graphics Programming). There is a short chapter on PDF::API2 with
simple examples. You could actually get those examples online. I will
try to find the link for you.

Please let me know if you've got any solutions on creating those PDF
files.

Lisa

The link is available from the oreilly site page for this book
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlgp/) however the link itself is dead.

Anyone got any ideas where else the example code can be got from, I will
keep googling for now.

Sorry for replying to my own post but the files are available from
Oreilly's own FTP site ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/examples/perlgp/

Hope this helps

Howdy,

There is a mailing list on Yahoo groups which is moderated by the
Author. Probably the best source. The main web page is on sourceforge
somewhere I think. Though the documentation there is still failry
anemic.

I haven't done graphics with it yet. I expect to try today, and see
how it goes.

-Thanks
