* Package name : libcam-pdf-perl Version : 1.58 Upstream Author : Chris Dolan * URL : http://http://search.cpan.org/dist/CAM-PDF/ * License : Perl Programming Lang: Perl Description : PDF manipulation library This package reads and writes any document that conforms to the PDF specification generously provided by Adobe at http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/pdf/index_reference.html (link last checked Oct 2005). The file format through PDF 1.5 is well-supported, with the exception of the "linearized" or "optimized" output format, which this module can read but not write. Many specific aspects of the document model are not manipulable with this package (like fonts), but if the input document is correctly written, then this module will preserve the model integrity. The PDF writing feature saves as PDF 1.4-compatible. That means that we cannot write compressed object streams. The consequence is that reading and then writing a PDF 1.5+ document may enlarge the resulting file by a fair margin. -- Ivan Kohler President and Head Geek, Freeside Internet Services, Inc. http://freeside.biz/ Debian GNU/Linux developer | CPAN author | cat person | ski addict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
