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

I've been trying to create multiple PDF files by looping through an array, it seems to be crapping out after the first iteration with a "Can't call method "new_obj" on unblessed reference at /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/PDF/API2/Page.pm line 268." Any assistance in this regard would be much appreciated, Thanks

    It would help if you showed us the code - in particular, the calling sequence, and values of parameters passed.

    The area that is failing is: 

    sub content {
    my ($self,$obj,$dir) = @_;
    if(defined($dir) && $dir>0) {
        $self->precontent($obj);
    } else {
        $self->addcontent($obj);
    }
    $self->{' apipdf'}->new_obj($obj) unless($obj->is_obj($self->{' ap
+ipdf'}));

    [download]
    and it appears that "$self->{' apipdf'}" is not defined.
    Has that been setup properly , perhaps by calling the "coerce" method ?
