I am setting the background colour of my document prior to the creation of
the document object/writer by creating a rectangle the size of the page and
then using setBackgroundColor to set the background colour.  I then add
various images/objects to the cbu PDF content byte.  The background colour
displays without problem - but obscures all images/objects in the content
byte.  If I take the setBackgroundColor call out then everything is fine. 
Why does the setBackgroundColor obscure the cbu layer?  Am I doing something
wrong here?

Thanks
Paul
