PageUnit is a property with a "getter", but w/o "setter" - so you should get a compiler error with your code.

You can set this with the appropriate constructor, e. g.

Code:

XGraphics(Graphics gfx, XSize size, XGraphicsUnit pageUnit, XPageDirection pageDirection)

I normally use Unit.FromMillimeter so I can use mm in the program code (while PDFsharp still uses pt internally).

I probably could - if I knew what you want.

Default unit is point.
To specify 20 Millimeters you just write

Code:

Unit.FromMillimeters(20)

and PDFsharp uses the correct value.

Instead of writing

Code:

XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);

you can also write

Code:

XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page, XGraphicsUnit.Millimeter);

Then you can write

Code:

new XRect(0, 0, 20, 20)

to specify 20 Millimeters.
