// Append new page to the document

Page page = document.AddPage(PageSizeType.A3, PageOrientationType.LandScape);

const int fontSize = 50;

// Create array with font types

string[] fontNames = new string[] {

"Arial",

"Tahoma",

"Book Antiqua"

};

// X position of the text to draw

int textX = 10;

// Y position of the text to draw

int textY = 50;

// Draw all font types

foreach (string fontName in fontNames)

{

// Add standard font

uint font = document.AddFontTrueType(fontName, false, false);

// Set Active Font

drawing.SetActiveFont(font, fontSize, false, false);

// Draw Text

drawing.PlaceText(textX, textY, 0, fontName);

// Increase position of the next text

textY += fontSize + 20;

}



// Save document

document.Save("FontsFromFontName.pdf");

// open generated PDF document in default PDF viewer installed in Windows

Process.Start("FontsFromFontName.pdf");
