NAME

PDF::API2 - A Perl Module Chain to faciliate the Creation and Modification of High-Quality "Portable Document Format (aka. PDF)" Files.

SYNOPSIS

    use PDF::API2;
    #
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
    $pdf = PDF::API2->open('some.pdf');
    $page = $pdf->page;
    $page = $pdf->openpage($pagenum);
    $img = $pdf->image('some.jpg');
    $font = $pdf->corefont('Times-Roman');
    $font = $pdf->ttfont('TimesNewRoman.ttf');

GENERIC METHODS

Creates a new pdf-file object. If you know beforehand to save the pdf to file you can give the '-file' option, to minimize possible memory requirements later-on. Example:

    $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
    ...
    print $pdf->stringify;
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
    ...
    $pdf->saveas("our/new.pdf");
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new(-file => 'our/new.pdf');
    ...
    $pdf->save;
Opens an existing PDF for modification. Example:
    $pdf = PDF::API2->open('my/old.pdf');
    ...
    $pdf->saveas("our/new.pdf");
    $pdf = PDF::API2->open('our/to/be/updated.pdf');
    ...
    $pdf->update;
Opens an existing PDF-stream for modification. Example:
    open($fh,'our/stream.pdf') or die "$@";
    @pdf = <$fh>;
    $pdf = PDF::API->openScalar(join('',@pdf));
    ...
    $pdf->saveas('our/new.pdf');
Controls viewing-preferences for the pdf. Page Mode Options: -fullscreen ... Full-screen mode, with no menu bar, window controls, or any other window visible. -thumbs ... Thumbnail images visible. -outlines ... Document outline visible. Page Layout Options: -singlepage ... Display one page at a time. -onecolumn ... Display the pages in one column. -twocolumnleft ... Display the pages in two columns, with oddnumbered pages on the left. -twocolumnrigth ... Display the pages in two columns, with oddnumbered pages on the right. Viewer Options: -hidetoolbar ... Specifying whether to hide tool bars. -hidemenubar ... Specifying whether to hide menu bars. -hidewindowui ... Specifying whether to hide user interface elements. -fitwindow ... Specifying whether to resize the document’s window to the size of the displayed page. -centerwindow ... Specifying whether to position the document’s window in the center of the screen. -displaytitle ... Specifying whether the window’s title bar should display the document title taken from the Title entry of the document information dictionary. -afterfullscreenthumbs ... Thumbnail images visible after Full-screen mode. -afterfullscreenoutlines ... Document outline visible after Full-screen mode. Initial Page Option: -firstpage => [ CW$pageobj, CW%opts] ... Specifying the page to be displayed, plus one of the following options: Initial Page Options: -fit => 1 ... Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit the entire page within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the page within the window in the other dimension. -fith => CW$top ... Display the page designated by page, with the vertical coordinate top positioned at the top edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire width of the page within the window. -fitv => CW$left ... Display the page designated by page, with the horizontal coordinate left positioned at the left edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire height of the page within the window. -fitr => [ CW$left, CW$bottom, CW$right, CW$top ] ... Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit the rectangle specified by the coordinates left, bottom, right, and top entirely within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the rectangle within the window in the other dimension. -fitb => 1 ... Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit its bounding box entirely within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the bounding box within the window in the other dimension. -fitbh => CW$top ... Display the page designated by page, with the vertical coordinate top positioned at the top edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire width of its bounding box within the window. -fitbv => CW$left ... Display the page designated by page, with the horizontal coordinate left positioned at the left edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire height of its bounding box within the window. -xyz => [ CW$left, CW$top, CW$zoom ] ... Display the page designated by page, with the coordinates (left, top) positioned at the top-left corner of the window and the contents of the page magnified by the factor zoom. A zero (0) value for any of the parameters left, top, or zoom specifies that the current value of that parameter is to be retained unchanged. Example:
    $pdf->preferences(
        -fullscreen => 1,
        -onecolumn => 1,
        -afterfullscreenoutlines => 1,
        -firstpage => [ $pageobj , -fit => 1],
    );

PAGE METHODS

Returns a new page object or inserts-and-returns a new page at CW$index. Note: on CW$index

    -1 ... is inserted before the last page
    1 ... is inserted before page number 1 (the first page)
    0 ... is simply appended
Returns the pageobject of page CW$index. Note: on CW$index
    -1,0 ... returns the last page
    1 ... returns page number 1
Example: (A Document with 99 Pages)
    $page = $pdf->openpage(1);   # returns the first page
    $page = $pdf->openpage(9);  # returns the last page
    $page = $pdf->openpage(-1);  # returns the last page
    $page = $pdf->openpage(9); # returns undef
Returns a form-xobject created from CW$sourcepdf,$sourceindex. This is useful if you want to transpose the imported page-description somewhat differently onto a page (ie. two-up, four-up, duplex, etc.). Note: on CW$index
    -1,0 ... returns the last page
    1 ... returns page number 1
Example:
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
    $old = PDF::API2->open('my/old.pdf');
    $xo = $pdf->importPageIntoForm($old,2); # get page 2
    $page = $pdf->page;
    $gfx = $page->gfx;
    $gfx->formimage($xo,0,0,1); # put it on page 1 with scale x1
    $pdf->saveas("our/new.pdf");
Returns the pageobject of page CW$targetindex, imported from CW$sourcepdf,$sourceindex. Note: on CW$index
    -1,0 ... returns the last page
    1 ... returns page number 1
Note: you can specify a page object instead as CW$targetindex so that the contents of the sourcepage will be 'merged into'. Example:
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
    $old = PDF::API2->open('my/old.pdf');
    $page = $pdf->importPage($old,2); # get page 2 into page 1
    $pdf->saveas("our/new.pdf");

    ...
    $pdf->saveas("our/new.pdf");
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
    $pdf->mediabox(0,0,595,842);
    ...
    $pdf->saveas("our/new.pdf");

    $pdf->saveas("our/new.pdf");
Sets the global bleedbox. Example:
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
    $pdf->bleedbox('A4');
    ...
    $pdf->saveas("our/new.pdf");
    $pdf = PDF::API2->new;
