A Thought…

A philosopher, a mathematician, and an engineer have been invited to a sumptuous buffet. Their host tells them that there is but one restriction: “You are standing 10 feet from the table. Each step you take to the table must be one half the remaining distance to the table.” The philospher thinks about it for a bit, says, “There are starving people, so how can I gorge myself?”, and leaves. The mathematician ponders the matter, recalls Zeno’s Paradox, concludes he can never reach the table, and leaves. The engineer takes a mighty 5 foot stride, then a 2-1/2 foot stride, then 1-1/4 feet, and finally 7-1/2 inches. He says, “Within 10%… good enough!”, and proceeds to chow down.

NAME

PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Form - Base class for external form objects

Inherits from PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject

METHODS

new

    $form = PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Form->new($pdf)

Creates a form resource.

bbox

    ($llx, $lly, $urx, $ury) = $form->bbox($llx, $lly, $urx, $ury)

Get or set the coordinates of the form object's bounding box.

resource

    $resource = $form->resource($type, $key)

    $form->resource($type, $key, $object, $force)

Get or add a resource required by the form's contents, such as a Font, XObject, ColorSpace, etc.

By default, an existing $key will not be overwritten. Set $force to override this behavior.
