{
// Create main PDF Doc Engine
PDFDocEngine engine = new PDFDocEngine("", "");

// Add new document
Document document = engine.AddDocument();

// Append new page to the document
Page page = document.AddPage(PageSizeType.A3, PageOrientationType.LandScape);

// Create new drawing
Drawing drawing = page.AddDrawing();

// font size constant
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");
