in reply to Putting text and images in PDFs using PDF::API2

The resultant PDF needs to contain both text and a graphic on the same page, with the text printed over the top of the graphic.
...
However, this puts the image on top of the text,
Huh?

Do you mean you want the text higher on the page (above) than the graphic, but what you're getting is literally the the text superimposed over the graphic?

... just a little confused.

    sounds likes the user wants the image to be a background image and have text painted over it, but the image is being rendered after the text instead of before it.
      Correct. That's exactly what I was after.
