I think you need to specify at least your first page. Otherwise the  
document doesn't know what a page looks like. This is what my pages  
look like:

     def myFirstPage(self, canvas, doc):
         canvas.saveState()
         canvas.setFont('Times-Bold',16)
         canvas.drawCentredString(self.PAGE_WIDTH/2.0,  
self.PAGE_HEIGHT-108, self.context.title)
         canvas.setFont('Times-Roman',9)
         canvas.drawString(cm, 0.75 * cm, "First Page")
         canvas.restoreState()

     def myLaterPages(self, canvas, doc):
         canvas.saveState()
         canvas.setFont('Times-Roman',9)
         canvas.drawString(cm, 0.75 * cm, 'CompanyName | %d' %  
(doc.page))
         canvas.restoreState()

And then I call...

   doc.build(story, onFirstPage=self.myFirstPage,  
onLaterPages=self.myLaterPages)

...but you could probably skip "def myLaterPages" and only write...

   doc.build(story, onFirstPage=self.myFirstPage)
