Hi all-
Paulo asked to see some code regarding the top-margin issue and I have
included it below. This "nothing" program will create a four page PDF
that has a table in the header with 3 cells. In the onEndPage() method
I set the top margin at document.top() + 30, and while the the table
appears properly on every page, the text on the first page is one line
higher up the page than on subsequent pages. I'm really not sure why.
Anyway, I really appreciate any assistance in figuring out what I'm
doing wrong, or missing, or whatever it might be.
