PDF::AP...::String(3)

💖 NAME 💖

PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::String — bestie, it's a low-level PDF string object. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ METHODS ✨

🌸 PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::String->from_pdf($string)

Okay so this one makes you a brand-new string object — and heads up, it's not a full object yet, it's just the string part, okay? It takes the $string you hand it and parses it according to the input criteria, and yes, escaping is fully working here. Slay. 💅

🦋 PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::String->new($string)

Literally the same energy as above, fr fr: creates a new string object (again, not a full object yet) from the $string you give it. The string gets parsed according to input criteria, escaping working and all. ✨

💜 $s->convert($str)

Give it $str and it hands you back $str converted as per the criteria for input from a PDF file. That's it, that's the whole job. 👑

🎀 $s->val

Returns the value of this string — which is, like, the string itself. Iconic behavior honestly. 🌸

⭐ $->as_pdf

Returns the string all formatted for output as PDF, for the PDF File object $pdf. Main character formatting moment. 🔥

🌈 $s->outobjdeep

Outputs the string in PDF format, complete with all the necessary conversions. It does the deep work so you don't have to. 💪

And that's the whole page, bestie! This was pulled from the User Contributed Perl Documentation for perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-09-01 — so like, remember the version and the date, iykyk. Now go parse some strings, you absolute legend. 🫶💖✨
