You need to create PDF files all the time or one-off? In the latter case you may want to go for online pdf converters, mostly free. In the former case, there is a myriad of PDF viewers and editors available. If you are running KDE you are probably set up correctly (doesn't KWrite offer PDF output?), GNOME may have something similar. If you are more technically inclined, check tcpdf. Hope this helps.

pdf::api2::basic::pdf::dict
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Dict(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Dict(3pm)
NAME
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Dict - PDF Dictionaries and Streams. Inherits from PDF::Objind
INSTANCE VARIABLES
There are various special instance variables which are used to look after, particularly, streams. Each begins with a space:
stream
Holds the stream contents for output
streamfile
Holds the stream contents in an external file rather than in memory. This is not the same as a PDF file stream. The data is stored in
its unfiltered form.
streamloc
If both ' stream' and ' streamfile' are empty, this indicates where in the source PDF the stream starts.
METHODS
$d->outobjdeep($fh)
Outputs the contents of the dictionary to a PDF file. This is a recursive call.
It also outputs a stream if the dictionary has a stream element. If this occurs then this method will calculate the length of the stream
and insert it into the stream's dictionary.
$d->read_stream($force_memory)
Reads in a stream from a PDF file. If the stream is greater than "PDF::Dict::mincache" (defaults to 32768) bytes to be stored, then the
default action is to create a file for it somewhere and to use that file as a data cache. If $force_memory is set, this caching will not
occur and the data will all be stored in the $self->{' stream'} variable.
$d->val
Returns the dictionary, which is itself.
