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.

           Example:

               $pdf->transform(
                   -translate => [$x,$y],
                   -rotate    => $rot,
                   -scale     => [$sx,$sy],

           Please Note: The width/height or scale given is in user-space
           coordinates which is subject to transformations which may have been
           specified beforehand.

           Per default this has a 72dpi resolution, so if you want an image to
           have a 150 or 300dpi resolution, you should specify a scale of
           72/150 (or 72/300) or adjust width/height accordingly.

       $pdf->nl
       $pdf->textend
       $pdf->print $font, $size, $x, $y, $rot, $just, $text
           Convenience wrapper for shortening the textstart..textend sequence.
