Re: Set text size in table cell using PDF::Table

Works for me with the current version of PDF::Table (0.9.6) - but not with an older version (0.9.3).

Also, note that $pdf->corefont("Helvetica", -encoding => "utf8") creates and embeds a font instance every time you make that call. I.e., an optmization would be to create the font object just once

my $helvetica = $pdf->corefont("Helvetica", -encoding => "utf8");

and then just pass the same reference to the individual cells

...
          $cell_props->[$j]->[$k] = {
                                    font => $helvetica,
                                    font_size => 15,
                                    background_color => '#FFCA00', #
                                    font_color       => '#fD4D4D', #
                                    justify => "left",
                                };
...

This cuts down the PDF size for the sample code from 290k to 9k.

Hi there, I am doing something similar and have a question. Is it possible using the same similar code here to do "colspan", for a sub header for example. Thanks!	[reply]
