shibu_pu has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi

I am creating a pdf file using PDF::API2. I created a page, put a background image and put some texts on it. What I need is, I want an exact copy of the first page on next page but scaled to 0.5 size of the first page.

I tried to create an xo object of the first page and use formimage to put that xo object on the next page. But failed.

Any Idea?
Thank you.

    my $copy = $page->copy;
$copy->scale(0.5, 0.5 );
$pdf->add_page($copy);

      When I used the above piece of code, my system was hung for a while and the execution of the script was killed automatically.
