"""
=============
Multipage PDF
=============
This is a demo of creating a pdf file with several pages,
as well as adding metadata and annotations to pdf files.
If you want to use a multipage pdf file using LaTeX, you need
to use ``from matplotlib.backends.backend_pgf import PdfPages``.
This version however does not support `.attach_note`.
