That's one of the problems you may be up against, page rotation.
The other problem is: The bottom left corner isn't required to be 0,0. It is
perfectly legal (though quite strange) to build a page with it's lower left
corner at 200,200, or -100,0, or whatever. Also remember that the visible page
is defined by the page's CROP BOX, not the media box. These values can differ.
Also, there might not BE a crop box, in which case you can use the media box.
So if you're expecting the visible lower left corner to be 0,0, you could
easily be drawing off the visible page area. Throw in rotation, and you might
end up drawing your content no where near where you wanted it.
