PDFDoc.OutputFileName = "HelloWorld.pdf" ' set output filename for PDF document
PDFDoc.AutoOpenGeneratedPDF = true ' automatically open generated PDF document in default PDF viewer application

PDFDoc.BeginDocument ' starts PDF document generation

' add text to current page - draw text at (100,100) and rotate at 15 degrees
PDFDoc.Page.AddText "Hello, World!", 100, 100, 15

PDFDoc.EndDocument ' close pdf document generation
