I do not think that it is possible to directly display pdf in a canvas. Depending on your needs, you may consider one of the following ways: If you just want to see the image in the canvas, you could use some converter to convert your image to a format which is supported by Tk::Photo ( I use ghostscript to convert pdf to ppm). However you end up with a pixel format instead of a vector format, so you carefully have to think about adequate resolution and zooming into the picture does not look nice. On the other hand, if you must retain the vector format (e.g. if you want to edit some of the elements), I do not know of an easy way. There is a tool called pstoedit which allows to convert postscript to other vector formats. It uses ghostscript, so it also works on pdf files. However, there is tcl/tk canvas output available, but no perl/tk output (although it should not be too difficult for an experienced programmer to write an output module for perl/tk).
