    Summary: Reuse and mass produce PDF documents
    Description: 
    This module could be used when you want to mass produce similar (but not identical)
    PDF documents and reuse templates, JavaScripts and some other components. It is
    functional to be fast, and to give your programs capacity to produce many pages
    per second and very big PDF documents if necessary.
    
    The module produces PDF-1.4 files. Some features of PDF-1.5, like "object streams"
    and "cross reference streams", are supported, but only at an experimental level. More
    testing is needed. (If you get problems with a new document from Acrobat 6 or 7, try to
    save it or recreate it as a PDF-1.4 document first, before using it together with
    this module.)

    =item Templates
    
    Use your favorite program, probably a commercial visual tool, to produce single
    PDF-files to be used as templates, and then use this module to mass produce files
    from them.
    
    (If you want small PDF-files or want special graphics, you can use this module also,
    but visual tools are often most practical.)
    
    =item Lists
    
    The module uses "XObjects" extensively. This is a format that makes it possible
    create big lists, which are compact at the same time.
    
    =item PDF-operators
    
    The module gives you a good possibility to program at a "low level" with the basic
    graphic operators of PDF, if that is what you want to do. You can build your
    own libraries of low level routines, with PDF-directives "controlled" by Perl.
    
    =item Archive-format
    
    If you want, you get your new documents logged in a format suitable for archiving
    or transfer.
    
    PDF::Reuse::Tutorial might show you best what you can do with this module.
    
    =item JavaScript
    
    You can attach JavaScripts to your PDF-files.
    
    You can have libraries of JavaScripts. No cutting or pasting, and those who include
    the scripts in documents only need to know how to initiate them. (Of course those
    who write the scripts have to know Acrobat JavaScript well.)
