I think this "filename" defines the filename of the downloaded file rather than
an input file

I think that this is the problem, I can in fact get it to work if I change
PDF::API2.pm from
184 sub open_scalar {
185 my ($class, $content, %options) = @_;
186
187 my $self = {};
188 bless $self, $class;
To
184 sub open_scalar {
185 my ($class, $content, %options) = @_;
186
187 my $self = {};
188 if ( ref($class) ) {
189 $self = $class;
190 } else {
191 bless $self, $class;
192 }
This is obviously not an ideal fix but I don't understand how C::V::PDF::API2
interacts with PDF::API2, ie where does the TT pdf object come from?
Thanks again for your help
