Set pdfDocument = CreateObject("Bytescout.PDF.Document")
pdfDocument.RegistrationName = "demo"
pdfDocument.RegistrationKey = "demo"

Set comHelpers = pdfDocument.ComHelpers

' Add page
Set page1 = comHelpers.CreatePage(comHelpers.PAPERFORMAT_A4)

' Prepare font and brush
Set font = comHelpers.CreateSystemFont("Arial", 24)
Set blackBrush = comHelpers.CreateSolidBrush(comHelpers.CreateColorGray(0))

Set canvas = page1.Canvas

' Draw simple text
canvas.DrawString "Simple text.", (font), (blackBrush), 50, 100

' Save canvas state
canvas.SaveGraphicsState()

' Move canvas origin (0,0) point to (50,100)
canvas.TranslateTransform 50, 100

' Rotate canvas at 45 deg around of the origin point
canvas.RotateTransform 45 
canvas.DrawString "Rotated 45", (font), (blackBrush), 0, 0

' Rotate another 45 deg
