Prima::PS::PDF - PDF interface to Prima::Drawable
Recommended usage:
use Prima::PS::Printer; my $x = Prima::PS::PDF::File-> new( file => 'out.pdf');
or
my $x = Prima::PS::PDF::FileHandle-> new( handle => \&STDOUT);
Low-level:
use Prima::PS::PDF; my $x = Prima::PS::PDF-> create( onSpool => sub { open F, ">> ./test.pdf"; binmode F; print F $_[1]; close F; });
Printing:
die "error:$@" unless $x-> begin_doc; $x-> font-> size( 30); $x-> text_out( "hello!", 100, 100); $x-> end_doc;
Implements the Prima library interface to PDF v1.4. The module is designed to be compliant with the Prima::Drawable interface. All properties' behavior is as same as Prima::Drawable's except those described below.
Can be set while the object is in the normal stage - cannot be changed if the document is opened. Applies to implementation of the fillPattern property and general pixel-to-point and vice versa calculations
could be 0 or 1
The physical page dimension, in points
Non-printable page area, an array of 4 integers: left, bottom, right, and top margins in points.
if 1, a 90 degrees rotated document layout is assumed
Helpers for translation from pixel to points and vice versa.
Prima::PS::PDF is not responsible for the output of the generated document, it only calls the ::spool method when the document is closed through an ::end_doc call. By default discards the data. The Prima::PS::Printer class handles the spooling logic.
::spool
::end_doc
Prima::PS::Printer
Calls Prima::Application::fonts and returns its output filtered so that only the fonts that support the iso10646-1 encoding are present. This effectively allows only unicode output.
