NAME
PDF::Make::Reader - Read page information from parsed PDFs
SYNOPSIS
use PDF::Make::Parser;
use PDF::Make::Reader;
# Parse the PDF first
my $parser = PDF::Make::Parser->from_file('document.pdf', repair => 1);
$parser->parse;
# Create reader to access page content
my $reader = PDF::Make::Reader->new($parser);
# Get page count
my $count = $reader->page_count;
print "Document has $count pages\n";
# Access individual pages
for my $i (0 .. $count - 1) {
my $page = $reader->page($i);
# Get page dimensions
my @media_box = $page->media_box; # (llx, lly, urx, ury)
my @crop_box = $page->crop_box; # Falls back to media_box
my $rotation = $page->rotation; # 0, 90, 180, or 270
print "Page $i: ", ($media_box[2] - $media_box[0]), "x",
($media_box[3] - $media_box[1]), " rotation=$rotation\n";
# Get raw content stream bytes (decoded)
my $content = $page->content_bytes;
print "Content length: ", length($content), " bytes\n";
}DESCRIPTION
PDF::Make::Reader provides access to page information from parsed PDF documents. It handles page tree flattening, inheritable attribute resolution, and content stream extraction.
METHODS
new($parser)
Create a new reader from a PDF::Make::Parser. The parser must have already been parsed (parse() called or via document() method).
The reader initializes by flattening the page tree and caching page references.
page_count()
Returns the number of pages in the document.
page($index)
Returns a PDF::Make::Reader::Page object for the page at the given 0-based index. Throws an exception if the index is out of range.
errmsg()
Returns the last error message, or empty string if no error.

NAME
PDF::Make::Reader::Page - A single page from a PDF document
SYNOPSIS
my $page = $reader->page(0);
my @media_box = $page->media_box; # (0, 0, 612, 792)
my @crop_box = $page->crop_box; # defaults to media_box
my $rotation = $page->rotation; # 0, 90, 180, 270
my $content = $page->content_bytes;DESCRIPTION
Represents a single page from a PDF document. Provides access to page attributes (with inheritance from parent Pages nodes) and decoded content stream bytes.
METHODS
media_box()
Returns a list of four numbers (llx, lly, urx, ury) representing the page media box in default user space units (points, 1/72 inch).
The media box defines the boundaries of the physical medium.
crop_box()
Returns a list of four numbers (llx, lly, urx, ury) representing the page crop box. If no crop box is specified, returns the media box.
The crop box defines the visible region of the page.
rotation()
Returns the page rotation in degrees: 0, 90, 180, or 270. Invalid rotation values are normalized to 0.
content_bytes()
Returns the decoded content stream bytes as a single binary string. If the page has no content stream, returns an empty string. If the page has an array of content streams, they are concatenated with whitespace separators.
