I've totally ignored this thread, but I have another API question
regarding this API. This API does not allow you to write a PS file (i.e.
print) with different sizes on each page. This is something that for
instance OOo and word allows (page size, margins, landscape/portrait and
other page settings are per-page in these programs). Shouldn't we allow
this?
