I don't think there is much that can be done in terms of scaling the image without distortion...sometimes the image will just not fill up the entire pdf. So I modified the placement of the titleblock and map. Now the titleblock is at the top and the map below...that way the map can never overlap the titleblock. If interested copy the code below and replace everything below '//create a landscape map' in the PDFWidget.mxml posted above...else //create a landscape map
{
//create landscape letter-size pdf and set margins
landPDF=new PDF(Orientation.LANDSCAPE,Unit.MM,Size.LETTER);
landPDF.setDisplayMode(Display.FULL_PAGE,Layout.SINGLE_PAGE);
landPDF.setMargins(2,2,2,2);
landPDF.addPage();
//add PDF document metadata--most people never notice but give credit where due
//and create a "well-formed" pdf document
landPDF.setTitle(txtTitle.text);
landPDF.setSubject(pdfSubject);
landPDF.setAuthor(pdfAuthor);
landPDF.setKeywords(pdfKeywords);
landPDF.setCreator(pdfCreator);
//draw neat line
//landPDF.drawRect(new Rectangle(2,2,275,212));
//draw title block rectangle
landPDF.drawRect(new Rectangle(3,3,273,32));
//add logo image
landPDF.addImageStream(new myLogoJPG() as ByteArray,"DeviceRGB",null,3,5,40,0,0,1,Blend.NORMAL,null);
//add title text entered in widget input
landPDF.setFont(timesboldFont,22);
landPDF.addText(txtTitle.text,50,10);
//add subtitle text entered in widget input
landPDF.setFont(timesFont,16);
landPDF.addText(txtSubtitle.text,50,17);
//add some disclaimer text
