Hello monks, I have used the super search to try to find an example of how to extract text from a pdf file and attach it to another pdf file, but haven't found any good examples. Any help would be greatly appreciated! here is my code so far:

 
use PDF::API2;
use PDF::Extract;
use CAM::PDF;
use constant mm => 25.4 / 72;
use constant in => 1 / 72;
use constant pt => 1;

#create pdf file and page
my $pdf = PDF::API2->new(-file => "$0.pdf");
my $page = $pdf->page;
$font = $pdf->corefont('Helvetica-Bold');

#create a header
my $header_text = $page->text;
$header_text->font($font, 24);
$header_text->translate(105/mm, 250/mm);
$header_text->fillcolor('black');
$header_text->text_center('Thank you for your business!');



$pdf-> save();
[download]

I added the CAM::PDF modules and PDF::Extract modules because that is what I found. I just haven't figured out to use them yet.. I want to open a file in the working folder called pdfone.pdf and write it to file I created in the code I posted

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
