Thanks a lot for this! I was having trouble getting full page images to work.

One issue though is that is is leaving a border and cropping some of the photo off. I added a -10 to all the page width to fake it and it seemed to work. I get a border still but no cropping at least.
draw_width, draw_height = page_width-10, page_height-10

Edit - I notice now that Google PDF and Adobe PDF reader are slightly different with the borders. It seems to be better on Adobe but I already added the -10. So it may be the reader?

Also the printer wants to scale it to 91%.

If there is a better way please let me know.

Thanks again!
