You can do images directly on the canvas with canvas methods; flowing text is 
harder, but you can do it with a paragraph using the wrapOn method and drawOn 
methods.


canv.drawImage(image,x,y,width=None,height=None)
None stands for use image values


P=Paragraph('''text....''',style=ParagraphStyle(name='normal'))

P.wrapOn(canv,width,height)
P.drawOn(canv,x,y)
