[REBOL] PDF maker questions
From: kpeters:otaksoft at: 7-Aug-2007 19:12
PDF maker's docs state that an offset can be added - I have added it as I understand
it.
Not only does it not work this way - the entire PDF built is now empty.
It seems to me that PDF maker generates empty PDFs at best as soon as it runs into
problems.
Questions I have:
1) Is that a valid assessment?
2) How then do I specify an offset properly?
3) Is there a way to make PDF maker verbose with regards to parsing problems?
4) The code below produces a PDF with one line only (the first one). What am I doing
wrong here?
TIA,
Kai
