addImage() yields #2015 Bitmap Error (Hack Solution Included)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Basically, I've attempted to pass a parent of a DisplayObject or
variable reference to a DisplayObject instance in my class. Examples:

myPDF.addImage(this);
myPDF.addImage(MovieClip.stage);
myPDF.addImage(MovieClip.parent);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I wanted to take a screen capture instance of my entire SWF, but instead
I'd get the following runtime error: ArgumentError: Error #2015 Invalid
BitmapData.

The problem I found was on line 3190 of org.alivepdf.pdf.PDF.as. Using
FlashTracer, I determined that the following values were being passed into
the addImage function:

displayObject.width:44038179.6
displayObject.height:16513228.8

When I alternatively hard code the values, the PDF prints fine:
var bitmapDataBuffer:BitmapData = new BitmapData (1000, 600, false);  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using AlivePDF 0.1.4.8 with Flash CS3 and TextMate on MacOSX Leopard

I just realised we need to display a Flex component for being able to add it as 
image. 
Then I added the code : validateNow() after addChild(component).
