Since new_from_data is currently not annotated to take an array of bytes, a normal string should work fine in Perl. This works for me: --- use Glib::Object::Introspection; BEGIN { Glib::Object::Introspection->setup ( basename => 'Poppler', version => '0.18', package => 'Poppler'); } my $f = 'some PDF file'; open my $fh, '<:raw', $f or die "Could not open $f: $!"; my $data; { undef $/; $data = <$fh> }; close $fh; warn my $d = Poppler::Document->new_from_data ($data, length $data); --- Does it not work for you? _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
