That lead me by name to some toys at CPAN where I found those and many others. Plus some for Java and Python.


If you're willing to go to Python, I use and love the ReportLab
PDF tools http://www.reportlab.org/

Python is one of those things I must learn one day and keep promising myself I will RSN. However, I can code shell scripts and Perl, and whenever I have a Q&D job to do, it's so easy to reuse what one knows.

Against Java in particular and Python is that I'm using Regular Expressions, and unless REs have surfaced in Java since I learned it, that's an after-market addon, and while I expect Python can do them, I really don't want to confuse myself with yet another implementation of REs.

I've downloaded an assortment and I'll probably use the first of them that seems easy enough to use and complete enough to do what I want. Likely it will be a CPAN module.

Thanks for your time and thoughts.
