(defun draw-page (content &key (width *letter-width*) (height
*letter-height*))
(let ((x 0)
(y height)
(dx width)
(dy height))
(pdf:with-page ()
(pdf:with-saved-state
(pdf:translate x y)
(let ((box (typeset::make-filled-vbox content dx dy)))
(when box
(typeset::stroke box 0 0)))))))
I use it like this:
(pdf:with-document ()
(let ((content (typeset::compile-text () ...)))
(dolist (box (typeset::boxes content))
(declare (ignore box))
(draw-page content)))
... write document to stream ...
For documents with one page, this works great. For documents with more
than
one page I consistently get 204 empty pages (except that the first page
has my
logo and some headers... perhaps the first box or somesuch?).
I tried using (loop while (typeset::boxes content) do ...) as one
suggested but that
ends up in what seems to be an infinite loop.
Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Erik.
