Xref: usenet.cise.ufl.edu comp.lang.perl.announce:262 comp.lang.perl.modules:9273 New Release: 1.09 Name DSLI Description Info ----------- ---- -------------------------------------------- ----- PDF bdpO Access information in a PDF file ANTRO The PDF library is a proposed library for access the information contained inside a PDF file. PDF stands for Portable Document Format and is a standard proposed by Adobe ( See http://www.adobe.com/ for more details ) . Install "as usual" with: perl Makefile.PL make make install Then, you can try the scripts in the example directory that tests if a file is a PDF ( not looking at the .pdf extension :-), the PDF version used to write them, their number of pages and the various Info ( Author, Creation date, Crypting, etc. ). PREREQUISITES: A Perl distribution :-) NEWS: Added support for crypted PDF. The library can now check if the parsed PDF has some kind of crypting. I've also tested the library with the new PDF version ( 1.3 ) and it works correctly. AVAILABILITY: The library is available at and at all CPAN mirror Enjoy Antonio "Antro" Rosella -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own .
