Unfortunately the resizer seems to offset
the poster from the correct location on the page. Fortunately it's
easy to fix.  What you have to do is find the first line like
<CODE>"213.000 0.000 translate"</CODE> (not necessarily those numbers exactly) 
and change it to <CODE>"0.0 0.0
translate"</CODE>. You should find it just after the
