note 51435 added to function.pdf-begin-page

I spent a lot of hours tweaking numbers in my PDF source, trying to nudge things the right way, and, invariably, really messing up big-time... Then one day I realized that all these numbers were supposed to be (INCHES * 72). Now my PDF code looks more like: <?php . . . pdf_begin_page($pdf, 8.5 * 72, 11 * 72); . . /* set up $helvetica as font */ . pdf_set_font($pdf, $helvetica, 9); $leading = pdf_get_value($pdf, 'leading'); pdf_show_boxed($pdf, 0.5 * 72, 0.5 * 72, 4.0 * 72, $leading, 'left', ''); ?> 0.0, 0.0 is at the bottom left. 8.5 * 72, 11 * 72 is at the top right. Everything in between is in x.xx * 72 where x.xx is INCHES. Suddenly, I can visualize the PDF while I'm typing. Might work for you too.
