[reportlab-users] Embedding Platypus Story in Canvas

[Rich Shepard]

   I've written the report cover page as a platypus story, but have the rest
of the report writing directly to the canvas. I'd like this to be a single
pdf file, with page numbers beginning immediately after the cover page.

   The function begins with

     Title = self.rptinfo
     pg = canvas.Canvas(Title, pagesize=LETTER)

and I proceed to define a platypus story and table. This ends with

     doc.build(story)

but that prints the document, if I correctly understand the dynamics.

   What do I need to change so I can continue the document writing to pg, and
ending each page with pg.showPage().

   While I'm at it, am I correct that I can print the pagination by

 	pgnum = pg.getPageNumber()
 	pg.drawCentredString(306,36,pgnum)
 	pg.showPage()

?
