12               my $x = Prima::PS::PDF-> create( onSpool => sub {
13                       open F, ">> ./test.pdf";
14                       binmode F;
15                       print F $_[1];

DESCRIPTION

24       Realizes the Prima library interface to PDF v1.4.  The module is
25       designed to be compliant with Prima::Drawable interface.  All
26       properties' behavior is as same as Prima::Drawable's, except those
27       described below.
28
29   Inherited properties
30       ::resolution
31           Can be set while object is in normal stage - cannot be changed if
32           document is opened. Applies to fillPattern realization and general
33           pixel-to-point and vice versa calculations
34
35   Specific properties
36       ::grayscale
37           could be 0 or 1
38
39       ::pageSize
40           physical page dimension, in points
41
42       ::pageMargins
43           non-printable page area, an array of 4 integers: left, bottom,
44           right and top margins in points.
45
46       ::reversed
47           if 1, a 90 degrees rotated document layout is assumed
48
49       ::rotate and ::scale
50           along with Prima::Drawable::translate provide PS-specific
51           transformation matrix manipulations. ::rotate is number, measured
52           in degrees, counter-clockwise. ::scale is array of two numbers,
53           respectively x- and y-scale. 1 is 100%, 2 is 200% etc.
54
55   Internal methods
56       pixel2point and point2pixel
57           Helpers for translation from pixel to points and vice versa.
58
59       spool
60           Prima::PS::Drawable is not responsible for output of generated
61           document, it just calls ::spool when document is closed through
62           ::end_doc. By default just skips data.  Prima::PS::Printer handles
63           spooling logic.
64
65       fonts
66           Returns Prima::Application::fonts, however with "iso10646-1"
67           encoding only.  That effectively allows only unicode output.
