[reportlab-users] Saving annotations with Platypus

[Chris Foster]

Thank you.

Your test code works fine and I re-implemented my DocTemplate subclass  
to closely match the test code and it is now working.  I can see the  
results with the Mac Preview application BTW.  However, I'm still  
missing something subtle.  I had to explicitly save the canvas.  It  
looks like this should have happened by default in _endBuild()?
