  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.
