PDF/Reuse version 0.14 ====================== This module gives you a possibility to reuse PDF-files. You can use pages, images, fonts and Acrobat JavaScript from old PDF-files (if they were not encrypted), and rearrange the components, and add new graphics, texts etc. There is also support for graphics. In the tutorial there is a description of how to transform a simple PDF-pages to graphic perl objects with the help of programs based on this module. The module is fairly fast, so it should be possible to used it for mass production. Usage e.g. for a long list: use PDF::Reuse; use strict; # Getting customer data in some way ... my @custData = ( { firstName => 'Anders', lastName => 'Wallberg' }, { firstName => 'Nils', lastName => 'Versen' }, { firstName => 'Niclas', lastName => 'Lindberg' }, # and 10000 more records { firstName => 'Sten', lastName => 'Wernlund' } ); prFile('myFile.pdf'); for my $customer (@custData) { prForm('letter.pdf'); prText(50, 750, "Dear $customer->{'firstName'}"); # ... prPage(); } prEnd(); INSTALLATION To install this module in a Windows environment: perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install (If you haven't got nmake, try to download it via http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe) Under other operating systems try the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install N.B. In the examples directory there is a zipfile with PDF documents and generated modules. Unzip it. I had to put all these files like that, to hide them from the normal processing around the upload to CPAN.
