Hi I'm going to be working with PDF files on a new project, and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a Perl module for working with PDF documents. I'm using Perl 5.8.8 on a Windows platform and will eventually be porting it to AIX Unix. I currently don't know much about PDF. I was looking at the PDF module on CPAN and I see it hasn't been updated since 2000. And one of the open bugs seems to imply that it stopped working with Acrobat version 5.x and I'll probably be accessing recently created PDF documents from various sources. So it looks like I'll have to choose from one of the other PDF modules. I just need read only access to PDF documents to extract information from them. Such as verifying it's actually a PDF document, # of pages and searching for particular string values so that it can be indexed before archived. Some of them may even be secured documents. Any recommendation would be appreciated.
