Description

the following code creates a blank pdf

        ofBeginSaveScreenAsPDF("test.pdf", true, true, ofRectangle(0, 0, 100, 300));
    ofSetColor(0);
    ofCircle(0,0,100,100);
    ofEndSaveScreenAsPDF();

While this code places a circle in the upper left corner as expected:

        ofBeginSaveScreenAsPDF("test.pdf");
    ofSetColor(0);
    ofCircle(0,0,100,100);
    ofEndSaveScreenAsPDF();

Research direction

Reproduce the blank PDF with the custom viewport example and compare it with the default ofBeginSaveScreenAsPDF call. Trace the Cairo renderer's custom viewport handling; done means the custom-size PDF contains the circle in the expected upper-left position.
