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, etc. ).

PREREQUISITES:

A Perl distribution :-)

NEWS:

Added support for the iso latin1 chars in the Getinfo ( Thanks to Thomas
Drillich for the patch )

For the people that have trouble with the "standard" install procedure under
wintel platform,
now is available a quick and dirty install.bat in the main directory

AVAILABILITY:

The library is available at

<http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/4794/>

and at all CPAN mirror

Enjoy

Antonio "Antro" Rosella
