=head1 NAME
PDF::Builder::Lite - Lightweight PDF creation methods
=head1 SYNOPSIS
$pdf = PDF::Builder::Lite->new();
$pdf->page(595,842);
$img = $pdf->image('some.jpg');
$font = $pdf->corefont('Times-Roman');
$font = $pdf->ttfont('TimesNewRoman.ttf');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class is unmaintained (since 2007) and should not be used in new code. It
combines many of the methods from L<PDF::Builder> and L<PDF::Builder::Content>
into a single class but isn't really otherwise any easier to use.
There have been many improvements and clarifications made to the rest of the
distribution that aren't reflected here, so the term "Lite" no longer applies.
It remains solely for compatibility with existing legacy code.
