9 use PDF::API2;
10 # Create a blank PDF file
12 $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
13 # Open an existing PDF file
15 $pdf = PDF::API2->open('some.pdf');
16 # Add a blank page
18 $page = $pdf->page();
19 # Retrieve an existing page
21 $page = $pdf->openpage($page_number);
22 # Set the page size

42 $pdf = PDF::API2->new(%options)
43 Creates a new PDF object. If you will be saving it as a file and
44 already know the filename, you can give the '-file' option to
45 minimize possible memory requirements later on.
46 Example:
48 $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
50 ...
51 print $pdf->stringify();
52 $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
54 ...
55 $pdf->saveas('our/new.pdf');
56 $pdf = PDF::API2->new(-file => 'our/new.pdf');
58 ...
59 $pdf->save();
60 $pdf = PDF::API2->open($pdf_file)
62 Opens an existing PDF file.
63 Example:
65 $pdf = PDF::API2->open('our/old.pdf');
67 ...
68 $pdf->saveas('our/new.pdf');
69 $pdf = PDF::API2->open('our/to/be/updated.pdf');
71 ...
72 $pdf->update();
73 $pdf = PDF::API2->open_scalar($pdf_string)
75 Opens a PDF contained in a string.
76 Example:
78 # Read a PDF into a string, for the purpose of demonstration
80 open $fh, 'our/old.pdf' or die $@;
81 undef $/; # Read the whole file at once
82 $pdf_string = <$fh>;
83 $pdf = PDF::API2->open_scalar($pdf_string);

341 $xml = $pdf->xmpMetadata($xml);
343 print "PDF metadata now reads: $xml\n";
344 $pdf->pageLabel($index, $options)
346 Sets page label options.
347 Supported Options:
349 -style
351 Roman, roman, decimal, Alpha or alpha.
352 -start
354 Restart numbering at given number.
355 -prefix
357 Text prefix for numbering.
358 Example:
360 # Start with Roman Numerals
362 $pdf->pageLabel(0, {
363 -style => 'roman',
364 });
365 # Switch to Arabic
367 $pdf->pageLabel(4, {
368 -style => 'decimal',
369 });
370 # Numbering for Appendix A
372 $pdf->pageLabel(32, {
373 -start => 1,
374 -prefix => 'A-'
375 });
376 # Numbering for Appendix B
378 $pdf->pageLabel( 36, {
379 -start => 1,
380 -prefix => 'B-'
381 });
382 # Numbering for the Index
384 $pdf->pageLabel(40, {
385 -style => 'Roman'
386 -start => 1,
387 -prefix => 'Index '
388 });
389 $pdf->finishobjects(@objects)
391 Force objects to be written to file if possible.
392 Example:
394 $pdf = PDF::API2->new(-file => 'our/new.pdf');
396 ...
397 $pdf->finishobjects($page, $gfx, $txt);
398 ...
399 $pdf->save();
400 $pdf->update()
402 Saves a previously opened document.
403 Example:
405 $pdf = PDF::API2->open('our/to/be/updated.pdf');
407 ...
408 $pdf->update();
409 $pdf->saveas($file)
411 Save the document to $file and remove the object structure from
412 memory.
413 Example:
415 $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
417 ...
418 $pdf->saveas('our/new.pdf');
419 $string = $pdf->stringify()
421 Return the document as a string and remove the object structure
422 from memory.
423 Example:
425 $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
427 ...
428 print $pdf->stringify();
429 $pdf->end()
431 Remove the object structure from memory. PDF::API2 contains
432 circular references, so this call is necessary in long-running
433 processes to keep from running out of memory.
434 This will be called automatically when you save or stringify a PDF.
436 You should only need to call it explicitly if you are reading PDF
437 files and not writing them.
438
440 $page = $pdf->page()
441 $page = $pdf->page($page_number)
442 Returns a new page object. By default, the page is added to the
443 end of the document. If you include an existing page number, the
444 new page will be inserted in that position, pushing existing pages
445 back.
446 If $page_number is -1, the new page is inserted as the second-last
448 page; if $page_number is 0, the new page is inserted as the last
449 page.
450 Example:
452 $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
454 # Add a page. This becomes page 1.
456 $page = $pdf->page();
457 # Add a new first page. $page becomes page 2.
459 $another_page = $pdf->page(1);
460 $page = $pdf->openpage($page_number)
462 Returns the PDF::API2::Page object of page $page_number.
463 If $page_number is 0 or -1, it will return the last page in the
465 document.
466 Example:
468 $pdf = PDF::API2->open('our/99page.pdf');
470 $page = $pdf->openpage(1); # returns the first page
471 $page = $pdf->openpage(99); # returns the last page
472 $page = $pdf->openpage(-1); # returns the last page
473 $page = $pdf->openpage(999); # returns undef
474 $xoform = $pdf->importPageIntoForm($source_pdf, $source_page_number)
476 Returns a Form XObject created by extracting the specified page
477 from $source_pdf.
478 This is useful if you want to transpose the imported page somewhat
480 differently onto a page (e.g. two-up, four-up, etc.).
481 If $source_page_number is 0 or -1, it will return the last page in
483 the document.
484 Example:
486 $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
488 $old = PDF::API2->open('our/old.pdf');
489 $page = $pdf->page();
490 $gfx = $page->gfx();
491 # Import Page 2 from the old PDF
493 $xo = $pdf->importPageIntoForm($old, 2);
494 # Add it to the new PDF's first page at 1/2 scale
496 $gfx->formimage($xo, 0, 0, 0.5);
497 $pdf->saveas('our/new.pdf');
499 Note: You can only import a page from an existing PDF file.
501 $page = $pdf->import_page($source_pdf, $source_page_number,
503 $target_page_number)
504 Imports a page from $source_pdf and adds it to the specified
505 position in $pdf.
506 If $source_page_number or $target_page_number is 0 or -1, the last
508 page in the document is used.
509 Note: If you pass a page object instead of a page number for
511 $target_page_number, the contents of the page will be merged into
512 the existing page.
513 Example:
515 $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
517 $old = PDF::API2->open('our/old.pdf');
518 # Add page 2 from the old PDF as page 1 of the new PDF
520 $page = $pdf->import_page($old, 2);
521 $pdf->saveas('our/new.pdf');
523 Note: You can only import a page from an existing PDF file.
525 $count = $pdf->pages()
527 Returns the number of pages in the document.

814 PDF::API2 will aim to support all major Perl versions that were
815 released in the past six years, plus one, in order to continue working
816 for the life of most long-term-stable (LTS) server distributions.
817 For example, a version of PDF::API2 released on 2018-01-01 would
819 support the last major version of Perl released before 2012-01-01,
820 which happens to be 5.14.
821 If you need to use this module on a server with an extremely out-of-
823 date version of Perl, consider using either plenv or Perlbrew to run a
824 newer version of Perl without needing admin privileges.
825
827 This module does not work with perl's -l command-line switch.
828
830 PDF::API2 was originally written by Alfred Reibenschuh, extending code
831 written by Martin Hosken.
832 It is currently being maintained and developed by Steve Simms.
