Thanks.
In PgAccess I will use a canvas in order to paint the report and get the
image as postscript file.
1. Presuming that my printer uses A4 paper (X mm by Y mm). How do I know
where should I stop writting on canvas (where is the page limit). My
objects from the canvas are using some coordinates. What is the formula
for translating from canvas coordinates into milimeters ?

Ok, I'll hunt it down.

I seem to remember that it's capable of scaling the output, so one way is
to refer to the coordinates in units of mm. That way, you can even handle
other paper sizes.
