Monsignors,

Any monks using PDF::Template to generate PDFs? I have been using the pretty good PHP 'module' phpPDF but am looking to migrate to a Perl solution.

Am including in my current readings the following: Generating PDF and HTML 2 PDF. I am most interested in any advice other monks may have. My end product is the daily new handout at the Audubon Zoo and it includes several jpegs of ads and coupons and is printed on a pre-printed background which requires tight control over test positioning and formatting. Anyone with similar projects? Any modules to seek out or avoid?

Any advice greatly appreciated!


TIA
jg

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
