Help with Margins

photofritz · 2011-05-25 15:34:13

Could anyone help to explain margins in PDF? Are they appended to the print surface? If I am drawing on a VCLCanvas at 600, 600 with resolution of 600 dots per inch, does this include Margins?

Are the margins part of the document or a function of the Viewer?
Thanks

Yes margins are part of the VCLCanvas.

Use a higher-level unit like SQlite3Pages to have margin and text auto positioning.

Thank you Is there a simple way to eliminate margins and draw directly on the page? I Thought i was doing that, but the PDF printer seems to add margins to the page that I was not aware of...

Please, could you be more specific? I don't want margins, and I don't see any reference to margins in VCLCanvas. i am desperate!

... that means that there is NO margin with VCLCanvas.

This is confusing me

It means that for VCLCanvas, x=0 for the left side of the paper e.g.
