Problem with rectangle and page margins on existing page

Hi,

I am having problems with adding a rectangle to a page in an existing document. I am trying to draw a box around the very edge of the page using the following code:

    // Open document
    Document document = new Document(_dataDir + "sample.pdf");

    // Get the first page
    Page page = document.getPages().get_Item(1);

    // Create a MarginInfo object
    MarginInfo mi = new MarginInfo(0, 0, 0, 0);

    // Set the page margins
    page.getPageInfo().setMargin(mi);

    // Get the media box size
    Rectangle mb = page.getMediaBox();

    // Create a Graph object
    Graph g = new Graph(mb.getWidth(), mb.getHeight());
    
    // Set the graph margins
    g.setMarginInfo(mi);

    // Create a rectangle the size of the page
    Rectangle r = new Rectangle(0, 0, mb.getWidth(), mb.getHeight());

    // Add it to the Graph object
    g.getShapes().add(r);

    // Add the graph object to the page
    page.getParagraphs().add(g);

    document.save(_dataDir + "new.pdf");

My problem is that the rectangle is drawn the correct size but is offset on the page by what looks to be the default margin size:

If I modify my code to add a new page to the document by changing:

Page page = document.getPages().get_Item(1);

To:

Page page = document.getPages().add();

And draw the rectangle on this new page then the rectangle is drawn in the correct position:

How can I position the rectangle at the very edge of the page on the existing page?

Thanks
