I haven't used it, but looking at the last paragraph of the docs for ``process`` https://metacpan.org/pod/Catalyst::View::PDF::API2#process I notice they say to use $c->stash->{pdf_filename} = 'myfile.pdf'; to set the PDF filename. They also mention what filename is assumed by default.
->open is a class method of PDF::API2, and I think you only get object methods with the object provided by Catalyst::View::PDF::API2 The error itself happens when you use a reference as a class. Run this to get the full message from diagnostics: perl -Mdiagnostics -e 'bless {}, {};' Hope this helps!
