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 ?
