Go greenbar…so far

Here’s a test PDF of what I’ve done…so far! It’s farther along than my Python program was at this stage. One big addition for this early stage are the holes. This is much more straight forward . The reportlab PDF program I used for Python was much harder to use. Because you had to create the greenbar page canvas layout first then add you text on the canvas that you built. Almost like real printing. Still I found it complicated. So you could actually misalign the text and halfway print on the greenbars…just like a real printer. That can’t happen in the Go programs PDF implementation (or at least it can’t based on my early knowledge of it) because you tell the program that the text has a green or white background.

One problem I’m currently having is the bottom margin. There shouldn’t be any!
