Hi all,
I'm trying out some PDF modules and have had some success with PDF::Report (http://search.cpan.org/author/AORR/PDF-Report-1.10/Report.pm) adding text and primitive graphics. PD::Report is a wrapper for PDF::API2. But I'm not having any luck inserting images. Here are the instructions: $pdf->addImg($file, $x, $y); Add image $file to the current page at position ($x, $y). I assume that I should provide a filename here. If I do that with a jpeg image for example, I get this error: sputnik:~/perl/pdf -> ./new_report > report-new.pdf Can't call method "val" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PDF/API2/PDF/Image.pm line 43. If I try this with a png image (say cpan_banner.png) the program runs successfully, but Adobe Acrobat Reader reports an error while trying to parse the image. #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use PDF::Report; my $pdf = new PDF::Report(); $pdf->newpage(); my $file = 'image.jpg'; my $x1 = 50; my $y1 = 450; $pdf->addImg($file, $x1, $y1, $scale); ### Same problem with 'addImgScaled' # generate output stream print $pdf->Finish(); __END__ If I try with a gif, I get: sputnik:~/perl/pdf -> ./new_report > report-new.pdf image 'balloon.gif' has unknown format with signature '474946383961' at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PDF/API2/Image.pm line 75. I've looked at the various modules (Gfx.pm, Image.pm) but see nothing that I can puzzle out. -- Kevin Pfeiffer International University Bremen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
