Wrapping and aligning pspicture in the top left corner with first line text

Question

I want to align the pspicture into the top-left corner of the page. Currently it is slightly below the header text when I want those two to be aligned up together.

The table for the Email/Website information is slightly indented so I want to remove that indentation as well.

I also want the "Lorem Ipsum Dolor" section to have no indent but I know how to fix that.

Right so here's what my .tex file looks like:

\end{document}

How can I align the top of the pspicture with the text? Should I use a minipage enviroment? Should I use a different tabular package for the table?

The generated PDF document looks similar to:

Answer 1

First a small comment on your example. It is too long for a MWE and did not compile as it had a few issues, such as a closing square bracket when you were loading the geometry package.

I produced a smaller file to illustrate the technique for aligning the two blocks. You can use minipages to enclose the blocks and to gain more control. We also enclose them with an fbox to be able to visualize everything.

There are many different ways to alignment the minipages, but the easiest in this case is to insert a small rule and push the text up. (The orange rule at the left of the textblock).

Once everything is aligned, you can zero the rule width and set \fboxrule0pt. The final finished header should look like:

And here is the MWE:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % inputenc for encoding to utf8
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}   % auto-pst-pdf converts pst to pdf
\usepackage{pst-barcode}    % pst-barcode try implement QR code
\usepackage[paper=a4paper,left=0.7cm,right=0.7cm,top=0.7cm,bottom=0.7cm,noheadfoot] {geometry}   % geometry for margins
% for mailto command
\newcommand{\mailto}[1]{\href{mailto:#1}{#1}}
% Name and contact information
\newcommand{\name}{FirstName LastName}
\newcommand{\addr}{123 Fake Street, London, XX00 0XX, England}
\newcommand{\phone}{            +44 123 456 6789      }
\newcommand{\email}{\mailto{[email protected]}}
\newcommand{\website}{\href{http://google.com}{http://google.com}}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\fboxsep0pt
\fboxrule0pt
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}

\fbox{\begin{minipage}[t]{\textwidth}
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{1.378in}
\begin{pspicture}(1.378in, 1.5in)
    \psbarcode[]{2}{height=1.378 width=1.378}{qrcode}
    {\color{white}2}
\end{pspicture}
\end{minipage}}\hspace{0.3cm}% adjust for horizontal spacing
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{0.7\textwidth}
\textbf{\LARGE \name }\\
\textit{%
