NAME

Printer::ESCPOS::PDF - a hacky drop-in replacement for redirect Printer::ESCPOS output to a PDF file instead of a printer

VERSION

version 0.001

METHODS

new

Takes an optional options hash reference for defining settings like height, width,

save_pdf $filename

Outputs the generated PDF file to the given file.

get_pdf

Returns the generated PDF as a string.

OTHER METHODS

This module implements other methods to do the actual conversion which are mostly overwritten from the original Printer::ESCPOS.

BUGS

This is a quite hacky implementation that I need to output the content of a print in a web browser. Many values are hard-coded and should be configurable.
