pdfDocument.Pages.Add(page1)

Set lightGrayColor = comHelpers.CreateColorGray(200)
Set whiteColor = comHelpers.CreateColorGray(255)
Set lightBlueColor = comHelpers.CreateColorRGB(200, 200, 250)
Set lightRedColor = comHelpers.CreateColorRGB(255, 200, 200)

' Create a table and set default background color
