CAM::PDF Version 1.52
First. Awesome modules. Thank you!
The possible bug:
CAM::PDF doesn't seem to handle landscape documents properly. If a text field 3/8in high by 4in long in a landscape document, only the first 3/8in of the text populated by fillFormField will be displayed. The rest of the 3 5/8in long box will be empty. By increasing the height of the field and repopulating it, I can increase the amount of text shown width-wise. Knowing this, I created a copy of the fillFormField subroutine, called it fillFormFieldLandscape, and flip-flopped $dx and $dy. This solved the display problem and I thought I had a full work around.
Upon printing the landscape document, I found the field values were printed 90 degrees clockwise as if they were portrait. All other text was printed properly in landscape format. I believe the text needs reoriented in the subroutine, but have not figured this out yet.
Thanks,
Bob Scullin
