PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Pages - Low-level page tree object

A Pages object is the parent to other pages objects or to page objects themselves.

This creates a new Pages object in a PDF. Notice that $parent here is not the file context for the object but the parent pages object for this pages. If we are using this class to create a root node, then $parent should point to the file context, which is identified by not having a Type of Pages. $pdf is the file object (or a reference to an array of file objects) in which to create the new Pages object.

Returns the given page, using the page count values in the pages tree. Pages start at 0.

$p->add_page($page, $page_number)

Inserts the page before the given $page_number. $page_number can be negative to count from the END of the document. -1 is after the last page. Likewise $page_number can be greater than the number of pages currently in the document, to append.

Returns a list of page objects in the document in page order

Searches up through the inheritance tree to find a property.

$p->add_font($pdf, $font)

Creates or edits the resource dictionary at this level in the hierarchy. If the font is already supported even through the hierarchy, then it is not added.

$p->bbox($xmin, $ymin, $xmax, $ymax, [$param])

Specifies the bounding box for this and all child pages. If the values are identical to those inherited then no change is made. $param specifies the attribute name so that other 'bounding box'es can be set with this method.

Ensures that the current resource contains all the entries in the proc_sets listed. If necessary it creates a local resource dictionary to achieve this.

Returns the top of the pages tree
