SYNOPSIS

    my $pdf = PDF::FromHTML->new( encoding => 'utf-8' );

There is also a command-line utility, html2pdf.pl, that comes with this distribution.

More documentation is expected soon.

HINTS & TIPS

<img> tags

Add the height and width attributes if you are creating the source HTML, it keeps PDF::FromHTML from having to open and read the source image file to get the real size. Less file I/O means faster processing.
