Example Usage

Please take a look at the fcl-pdf/examples/testfppdf.lpr project included with FPC's source code. It was purposely designed to help explain how to use the fcl-pdf package. Each page of that demo is defined in a separate method to help remove clutter, and explain the usage and functionality in smaller chucks of code.
