Hi,

seeing that no-one has answered in 4 days, I guess it's safe to assume 
that none of the readers of this list have the answer. The next step, 
then, would be to post the question to a venue with a larger readership, 
or something more specific.

Your best bet would be to a) open a ticket on the PDF::API2 bug queue on 
rt.cpan.org (include a small example that shows the problem), or b) ask 
the question on Perlmonks.

Regards,
David

Perl PDF having problems with acrobat version 8

[Ben Eagle]

I made a PDF using PDF::API2, it works fine I put all the text where
they should be and in acrobat 7 and below works fine, but in acrobat 8
all the text gets pushed to the right.

 

This is a real big problem for my client, and I am not sure how it can
be fixed

 

Any Ideas?

 

Also, using PDF::API2  PDF::Table, there is a text_block function that
should be able to create paragraphs and text blocks, however I can't get
it to work, has anyone used this or know how to I can't find any
documentation that clearly explains it.

 

 

($width_of_last_line, $ypos_of_last_line, $left_over_text) =
$pdftable-text_block(

$txt,

#  $text_to_place,

-x= $left_edge_of_block,

-y= $baseline_of_first_line,

-w= $width_of_block,

-h= $height_of_block,

   [-lead = $font_size * 1.2 | $distance_between_lines,]

   [-parspace = 0 | $extra_distance_between_paragraphs,]

   [-align= left|right|center|justify|fulljustify,]

   [-hang = $optional_hanging_indent,]

 );

 

this is all the examples has though I still can't get it to work, Help
Please.
