   createPage

   public PDFPage createPage(PageFormat pf)

   Creates a new PDFPage. This method DOES NOT add the page to the document, it simply creates it and returns it. After drawing to the page, addPage must be called to add the page to the document.

   Parameters:

   pf - The format of the new page.

   addPage

   public void addPage(PDFPage page)

   Adds a page to this document.

   Parameters:

   getPage

   public PDFPage getPage(int index)

   Returns the PDFPage object corresponding to the given index. The first page is index 0, the last page is getPageCount()-1. This method does no range checking, so it will throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception if the index is out of bounds.
   The PDFPage object can then be used to add more content to the given page by calling createGraphics and drawing into the Graphics object.

   Parameters:

   index - The index of the desired page.

   Returns:

   The PDFPage object at the given index.

   getPageCount

   public int getPageCount()

   Returns the number of pages in the document.
