NAME
Printer::ESCPOS::PDF - a hacky drop-in replacement for redirect Printer::ESCPOS output to a PDF file instead of a printer
SYNOPSIS
use Printer::ESCPOS::PDF;
my $printer = Printer::ESCPOS::PDF->new({ width => 815 });
my $parser = XML::Printer::ESCPOS->new(
printer => $printer,
);
$parser->parse(q#
<escpos>
<qr version="4" moduleSize="4">Dont panic!</qr>
</escpos>
#);
$printer->save_pdf('test.pdf');... or without XML::Printer::ESCPOS:
Printer::ESCPOS::PDF
my $printer = Printer::ESCPOS::PDF->new({ width => 815 });
$printer->text('this is an example');
$printer->lf();
$printer->bold(1);
$printer->text(q~this is some bold text~);
$printer->bold(0);
$printer->save_pdf('test.pdf');METHODS
new
Takes an optional options hash reference for defining settings like height, width,
save_pdf $filename
Outputs the generated PDF file to the given file.
get_pdf
Returns the generated PDF as a string.
OTHER METHODS
This module implements other methods to do the actual conversion which are mostly overwritten from the original Printer::ESCPOS.
BUGS
This is a quite hacky implementation that I need to output the content of a print in a web browser. Many values are hard-coded and should be configurable.
