Description : Facilitates the creation and modification of PDF files
PDF::Builder started as a fork of PDF::API2, but has since added new features
and fixed large bugs compared to the original.
.
Features:
- Works with more than one PDF file open at once
- It presents a object-oriented API to the user
- Supports the 14 base PDF Core Fonts
- Supports TrueType/OpenType fonts with both TT and CFF Outlines
- Supports Adobe-Type1 Fonts (pfb/pfa/afm)
- Supports native Embedding of bitmap images (jpeg,ppm,png)
- Supports modification of existing pdfs and import/cloning of pages
- Lite version of the API for first-timers
When it leaves the NEW queue, it will replace libpdf-api2-perl as a
dependency of gscan2pdf.
I intend to maintain this as part of the Perl team.
