Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ivan Kohler <ivan-...@420.am>
* 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.
