PDF-API2

Changes for version 2.045 - 2023-09-25

Fixed documentation error in synopsis for QR codes.
Fixed date validation when timezone offset minute contains a trailing apostrophe, which is required by the Adobe PDF specifications and prohibited by the ISO PDF specifications. PDF::API2 now accepts either version as valid (report by Johan Vromans).
Fixed passing a GD object to $pdf->image() (reported by Hakon Hagland).
Fixed a crash when object numbers contain leading zeroes.
