I have been trying (unsuccessfully I m ight add) to create paragraphs, I
know it can be done but I have yet to get it to work, here are a few
snippets trying to create it neither work
use PDF::API2;
use perlchartdir;
use strict;
use warnings;
use constant mm => 25.4/72;
use constant in => 1/72;
use constant pt => 1;
my $Template = "Dell_Deployment_Optimization.pdf";
my $pdftable = new PDF::Table;
my $pdf = new PDF::API2("testme.pdf");
my $page = $pdf->page;
my $txt = $pdf->text;
my $paragraph = "hfsdhfash jklshf jkshdf sjfh asjf jlkhasdf shf kljashf
kjhasd jklhsdfsahfash asfhf ash sfkjh v,nn zxn vkhn n gfoi dfkh vh akdfh
ihzdh klhdkh khgdhfiofjfjfas m, noncv shfhf hshff sdhfshfioshf hsdfs";
my $font = $pdf->corefont("Helvetica");
my $lead = 10;
my $fontsize = 12;
my $x = 50;
my $y = 50;
my $width = 300;
my $bottom_margin= 20;
$txt = $pdf->font($font,$fontsize);
$txt = $pdf->lead($lead);
$txt = $pdf->translate($x,$y);
my $overflow = $pdf->paragraph( $paragraph, $width,
$y+$lead-$bottom_margin );
print $pdf->stringify;
binmode STDOUT;
$pdf->end;
also this code for API2, and I have yet figured out how to get it to
work
($width_of_last_line, $ypos_of_last_line, $left_over_text) =
$pdftable->text_block(
$txt,
$text_to_place,
#X,Y - coordinates of upper left corner
x => $left_edge_of_block,
y => $y_position_of_first_line,
w => $width_of_block,
h => $height_of_block,
#OPTIONAL PARAMS
lead => $font_size | $distance_between_lines,
align => "left|right|center|justify|fulljustify",
hang => $optional_hanging_indent,
Only one of the subsequent 3params can be given.
They override each other.-parspace is the weightest
parspace => $optional_vertical_space_before_first_paragraph,
flindent => $optional_indent_of_first_line,
fpindent => $optional_indent_of_first_paragraph,
indent => $optional_indent_of_text_to_every_non_first_line,
);
everytime I try to use these it either fails, or tells me to download
the .pl file,....any help would be great
