=head1 NAME

Acme::PDF::rescale - A stupid module just to get trained with CPAN.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Acme::PDF::rescale qw(:all);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 Overview

I just wrote this module to learn how to upload something on CPAN.

Anyway, you may find the L<pdfrescale> script useful. It is installed
with the module. It has its own documentation. It allows to rescale a
pdf file, using a dirty trick : it creates a LaTeX file and calls
pdflatex (uses the pdfpages package). 

=head2 Methods

Useless subs were written, so that there is actually a
module and not just a script. If you B<really> want to use this,
you'd better read the script itself.
