PDF::API2 is also quite useful for manipulating PDF's. What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. - Christopher Hitchens	[reply]

Depending on your needs and experience with PDF, PDF::API2::Simple may prove to be a gentler introduction than PDF::API2. -- Ken	[reply]

If you have time to play, you could also check out some of the other modules on CPAN that have good ratings or are recently updated/submitted/maintained: PDF mods on CPAN. Please feedback to the Monastery if any prove particularly good! Hope this helps, Just a something something...	[reply]
