( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I had to scan a bunch of paper documents (one image per page), and upload them all to a web site that would accept only one PDF file containing the whole set.

A few CPAN module can do this, but their man pages leave a lot to the imagination. After a dozen trial/error iterations, here's what worked for me, using PDF::Create (it's manual was much better than PDF::API2).

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use PDF::Create; my $pdf = new PDF::Create(filename=>"test.pdf",Author=>"Me"); my $psz = $pdf->get_page_size("Letter"); my $rt = $pdf->new_page( MediaBox => $psz ); for my $i (<*.jpg>) { my $im = $pdf->image($i); my $pg = $rt->new_page( MediaBox => $psz ); $pg->image( image => $im, xpos => 0, ypos => 0, xscale => $$psz[2] / $$im{width}, yscale => $$psz[3] / $$im{height} ); } $pdf->close;

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
