In FB it is declared in Tlbx Printing.incl  (#define PMPageFormat     
as ptr )

That's a big assumption and I don't think it is true. The values that  
I've seen to set a var of type PMPageFormat are not Rects.

Yep, that is correct.

Ah, but there is a reason Apple names them opaque (there are many  
other opaque structures) because their intentional lack of  
transparency corresponds to this name. If you find further definition  
please let us know. Part of the reason Apple does this is to retain  
the flexibility to change things. If the programmer just expects a  
pointer their underlying code can be changed without impacting the  
programmer.

If there is a specific question about using PMPageFormat, just let  
the list know.
