// DownloadFile will download a url to a local file. It's efficient because it will

Possible to set Trim-box

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/signintech/gopdf"
)

func main() {
	
    pdf := gopdf.GoPdf{}
    mm6ToPx := 22.68
    
    // Base trim-box
    pdf.Start(gopdf.Config{
        PageSize: *gopdf.PageSizeA4, //595.28, 841.89 = A4
        TrimBox: gopdf.Box{Left: mm6ToPx, Top: mm6ToPx, Right: 595 - mm6ToPx, Bottom: 842 - mm6ToPx},
    })

    // Page trim-box
    opt := gopdf.PageOption{
        PageSize: gopdf.PageSizeA4, //595.28, 841.89 = A4
        TrimBox: &gopdf.Box{Left: mm6ToPx, Top: mm6ToPx, Right: 595 - mm6ToPx, Bottom: 842 - mm6ToPx},
    }
    pdf.AddPageWithOption(opt)

    if err := pdf.AddTTFFont("wts11", "../ttf/wts11.ttf"); err != nil {
        log.Print(err.Error())
        return
    }
    
    if err := pdf.SetFont("wts11", "", 14); err != nil {
        log.Print(err.Error())
        return
    }

    pdf.Cell(nil,"Hi")
    pdf.WritePdf("hello.pdf")
}
