PDF::Labels Description

Routines to produce formatted pages of mailing labels in PDF PDF::Labels is a Perl module with routines to produce formatted pages of mailing labels in PDF.SYNOPSIS use PDF::Labels; Requires: PDF::CreateGENERALProvides package PDF::LabelsPackage Global Variables: @PDF::Labels:PageFormats is a list of known page formats. Each page format is a : delimited list of fields which provide the following properties about a page of labels: pagewidth Width of actual page in inches pageheight Height of actual page in inches pagexoffset Offset from left edge of page to left edge of first column of labels in inches pageyoffset Offset from bottom edge of page to bottom edge of lowest row of labels xlabels Number of labels in each row ylabels Number of labels in each column labelwidth Width of each label in inches, including margin labelheight Height of each label in inches, including margin labelxmar Minimum Distance to offset printing from left and right edges of label labelymar Minimum distance to offset printing from top and bottom edges of label fontsize Size of font to use with this label linespacing Line spacing (points) to use with this labelSYNTAX Example use PDF::Create; use PDF::Labels; $pdf = new PDF::Labels( $PDF::Labels::PageFormats, filename=>'labels.pdf', Author=>'PDF Labelmaker', Title=>'My Labels' ); $pdf->setlabel(5); # Start with label 5 on first page $pdf->label('John Doe', '1234 Some Street', 'Anytown, ID', '12345'); $pdf->label('Jane Doe', '5493 Other Drive', 'Nowhere, CA', '92213'); $pdf->label('Bob Smith', '392 Cedar Lane', 'Deep Shit, AR', '72134'); $pdf->close(); The above example will produce 3 labels on an 8.5x11 sheet with three labels in a row and 10 rows of labels. The labels are 2.625"x1". This is a common sheet-feed label. In this case, the three labels will be the last label of the second row and the first two labels of the third row. The labels can be moved by changing the parameter to the setlabel call. Creation $pdf = new PDF::Labels( $PageFormat, PDF::Create parameters ) $PageFormat is a string containing a single element of PageFormats or a custom page format specification in the same format. PDF::Create parameters are described in the PDF::Create pod. Setup $pdf->setlabel(n) n is a number from 0 to maxlabels. Subsequent calls to create labels will create labels starting from this position on the page. Position 0 is the upper left label, working across each row down in columns. i.e. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... Setlabel will not go backwards. If n is less than the current cursor position, a new page will be created. Label Creation $pdf->label('string1', 'string2', 'string3') As much of each string as possible will be placed on a seperate line of the label. If there are more strings than the label can hold, extra strings will not be printed. @(#) Labels.pm Last updated 01/02/10 18:59:54 (SCCS Version 1.8) Requirements: · Perl
