I have never used PDF-API2 before. I am tring to create a two page document but can not write to the 2nd page. I would appreciate any commments. Here is my code:
#!c:/perl/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use PDF::API2;
my $pdf=PDF::API2->new; # Create a new top-level PDF document
my $font = $pdf->corefont('Helvetica');
my ($page, $text);
$page=$pdf->page(); # Create 1st page
$page->mediabox(500, 700); # Set the page dimensions
$text=$page->text();
$text->translate(50, 650); # Position the text
$text->font($font,12);
$text->text("Page 1");
$page=$pdf->page(); # Create 2nd page
$page->mediabox(500, 700); # Set the page dimensions
$text->translate(50, 640); # Position the text
$text->text("Page 2");
$pdf->saveas("file.pdf");
$pdf->end;
exit;
Thanks for your help!
