images in PDF

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Question: I've been handed a task to create various forms on the fly from our website in PDF. After looking at PDF::Create it looks like that will handle all of my needs with the exception of one. I need a simple small .jpeg logo on each page. Does anyone know how to do this? I did not see this functionality in PDF::Create. Thanks in advance.

I'm using PDFLib for all my PDF creation. It lets you add images without any problems. Jouke Visser, Perl 'Adept' Programming Perl to Enable the Disabled: pVoice and pStory	[reply]

I have not used them, but why not check out jpg2pdf or Text::PDF::API. It looks like the latter one does just what you want. If they work for you please post back your findings here.	[reply]

Look at the Yahoo! perl-text-pdf-modules egroup. I am working on a similar issue and found a good example script in this thread. -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."	[reply]

Yep, the example in the thread listed above worked just fine. I used the Text::PDF::API with the following snippet: `($key,$width,$height)=$pdfapiobj->newImage($file); $pdfapiobj->placeImage($key,0,0,$width,$height);` [download] Thanks for your help.	[reply] [d/l]
