PDF::API2::Lite(3)

NAME
PDF::API2::Lite - (do not use)

SYNOPSIS
    $pdf = PDF::API2::Lite->new;
    $pdf->page(595,842);
    $img = $pdf->image('some.jpg');
    $font = $pdf->corefont('Times-Roman');
    $font = $pdf->ttfont('TimesNewRoman.ttf');

DESCRIPTION
This class is unmaintained (since 2007) and should not be used in new code. It combines many of the methods from PDF::API2 and PDF::API2::Content into a single class but isn't otherwise any easier to use.

There have been many improvements and clarifications made to the rest of the distribution that aren't reflected here, so the term "Lite" no longer applies. It remains solely for compatibility with existing legacy code.
