The solution I have used over the years isn't exactly perl related but
it works on MacOS X as well as WindowsXP -
I purchased Adobe Acrobat Distiller (not sure what it is called today)
and had it monitor a "Drop Directory"
I then used Perl to create/Manipulate Postscript data and when
complete - I "wrote the new Data out to the Drop Directory.
The Adobe Distiller then simply converted the file to a normal Acrobat
file. The process is somewhat draw-out but I converted 500-600 page
college catalogs between on-line HTML format and printed PDF like this
daily.
Cheers!
