Group,

Basically I wanted to open a new pdf page and place TIFF, JPG and EPS
images. I am trying PDF::API2 but I am getting "Insufficient data for
an image" error when I try to open the PDF using 5.0.1. This error is
for TIFF and EPS images. For JPEG I am not getting any error but image
is enlarged.

Should I try PDFlib for this purpose. Sample code using PDF::API2
====
use PDF::API2;

unlink "test.pdf";
$pdf = PDF::API2->new(-file=>"test.pdf");
$page = $pdf->page(1);
$gfx = $page->gfx;
$img = $pdf->image_tiff("bbb.tif");
#$img = $pdf->image_jpeg("ccc.jpg");
$gfx->image($img, 0, 0);
$page->update;
$pdf->update;

exit;
