New Release: 1.09

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, Crypting, etc. ).

PREREQUISITES:

A Perl distribution :-)

NEWS:

Added support for crypted PDF. The library can now check
if the parsed PDF has some kind of crypting.

I've also tested the library with the new PDF version ( 1.3 )
and it works correctly.

AVAILABILITY:

The library is available at

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

and at all CPAN mirror

Enjoy

Antonio "Antro" Rosella
