[reportlab-users] changing header and footer on every page in a PDF document

[Satchidanand Haridas]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am relatively new to Reportlab. I would highly 
appreciate it if you can provide some more information about the 
approach you described .

As I understand, the beforeDrawPage method is called indirectly through 
the build() method whenever a flowable spills into a new page or if we 
explicity call a PageBreak() method. Is this correct?

Thanks.
