Thanks! That worked. I had to make a few changes because I had to manipulate
the canvas after the build and send it in an HTTP response.

Here was my workaround (feels hackish but couldn't think of any way better):

doct._doSave = 0
doct.build(page_flowables)
canvas = doct.canvas
canavs.setTitle("Some Title")
canvas.showPage()
# send the raw canvas data in a HTTP response
canvas.getpdfdata()
