[reportlab-users] How to mix static positioning and flowables

[Mike Driscoll]

Hi Andy,

In this case, the static content only appears on the first page. The table
can then continue for however many pages after that as needed. I do have an
older project where I did have the same static stuff on each page with a
flowing table across pages and sub-totals per page that I ended up writing
a hack for. I'm trying not to do that for this one.
