NAME
    PDF::API2::Lite - (do not use)

SYNOPSIS
        $pdf = PDF::API2::Lite->new;
        $pdf->page(595,842);
        $img = $pdf->image('some.jpg');
        $font = $pdf->corefont('Times-Roman');
        $font = $pdf->ttfont('TimesNewRoman.ttf');

DESCRIPTION
    This class is unmaintained (since 2007) and should not be used in new code. It combines many of
    the methods from PDF::API2 and PDF::API2::Content into a single class but isn't otherwise any
    easier to use.

    There have been many improvements and clarifications made to the rest of the distribution that
    aren't reflected here, so the term "Lite" no longer applies. It remains solely for compatibility
    with existing legacy code.

        Please Note: The width/height or scale given is in user-space coordinates which is subject
        to transformations which may have been specified beforehand.

        Per default this has a 72dpi resolution, so if you want an image to have a 150 or 300dpi
        resolution, you should specify a scale of 72/150 (or 72/300) or adjust width/height
        accordingly.
