A Note Regarding the Examples in This Chapter

As you will see throughout the examples in this chapter, a strong effort has been made to ensure that the PDF documents that are generated are not limited to a specific page width or height (within reason). Thus, as you will see in the examples that follow, some (at times, ugly) calculations are done to ensure that all elements are rendered relative to the width and height of the page. Although these calculations may be necessary at times, unless you need to render documents in multiple different page sizes, it may be more trouble than it's worth to do these calculations in your own scripts.
