I'll check it out. Thanks for the info, Dave

I don't know about a "standard module" but here a few tools I ran across by typing "Text PDF perl" in Google:

By the way, searching for "Text to PDF" Perl gave me your question as hit number 6.

Thanks, I guess I could have done that. I know there are many different modules to implement. But, I like to know what everyone else is using in production. Hope this help narrow down what I'm looking for.
