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

Set comHelpers = pdfDocument.ComHelpers

Set font = comHelpers.CreateStandardFont(comHelpers.STANDARDFONTS_TIMES, 18)
Set brush = comHelpers.CreateSolidBrush(comHelpers.CreateColorGray(0))
