Fellow monks,
Some time ago I promised to write a tutorial on PDF::API2. Since then I've suffered from a severe lack of tuits -- especially round ones! But finally I found enough and now I'm posting here (before it's finished) in order to get some feedback on the direction/format of the tutorial.

If you've time, please take a look at my work to date. I've elected to use the tried-and-true explaination-of-a-working-script method of tutoring. Does that work well for you?

The tutorial is not meant as a manual for the modules, but is meant to show how do do all the basic things.

Take a look at the tutorial as it stands at the moment and leave your comments below.

Sorry that it's offsite but it contains images and formatting that aren't quite possible on PM. Once I've written it, I might have a go at reformatting it for PM. Thanks and Cheers! Rick
