[Perl-pdf-devel] PDF::Create - Getting PDF in scalar

[Christopher H. <ch...@ch...>]

I've been playing with PDF::Create and have a couple of (hopefully
simple) questions.

(1) Is it possible to get the PDF into a scalar?  I realize I could suck
the file back in or make a class and make a Tie'd filehandle interface.
But each of those methods is messier than I'd hope for.  My goal is to
create a PDF within a web page on the fly.  Obviously avoiding disk I/O is
important, but dealing with Tie really seems like overkill.

(2) What's different about the version on SF from the version in CPAN?
Obviously the image support, but nothing else popped out at me.  I don't
care about adding in images for my current project, but if the SF version
is less buggy or has other features I'll go with it.
