Fixed Defect When Page Size Changed

PLATYPUS-23 (on Kenai.com)

Fixed problem with text being overwritten when page size was changed mid-document.

Problem was that when flushing text to the document when the new page size command appears, after the last flush, Platypus was not forcing a new page and recomputation of column sizes. This is now been forced by new code addition to pdf.commands.PageSize.java, which sets the current column number to 999999999. This has the effect of forcing a new page and a computation of new columns when any subsequent text is written out.
