.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "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\*(Aqt otherwise any easier to use.
.PP
There have been many improvements and clarifications made to the rest of the
distribution that aren\*(Aqt reflected here, so the term "Lite" no longer applies.
It remains solely for compatibility with existing legacy code.
