in reply to Review request for PDF::API2 Tutorial

I've been wanting a tutorial like this for generating PDFs. This is fanastic, and easy to understand thank you

I really like the part where you explain the co-ordinate systems and then show the code ( that's very legible!) for using alternate units.

However I'm not sure why you have two sets of units in one equation on line or switch back and forth between pt and mm: 

-h     =>  110/mm - 7/pt

    Not fair! You're reading ahead!!!

    I'll get to that bit soon. I was rather proud of the /mm convention for converting units on the fly. Looks better than mm2pt().

    I have the two units in one line in order to accurately measure a position. I'd have to take a look but it looks like I have a text box that needed shortening by one line. I might change that when I get down to it. The text block is 100mm tall, but each line is 7pt apart.

    Thanks for the feedback!
