pdfDocument.Pages.Add(page1)

Set canvas = page1.Canvas

Set font = comHelpers.CreateSystemFont("Arial", 16)
Set brush = comHelpers.CreateSolidBrush(comHelpers.CreateColorGray(0))
Set stringFormat = comHelpers.CreateStringFormat()

' Standard spacing
stringFormat.CharacterSpacing = 0.0
canvas.DrawString_4 "Standard intercharacter spacing 0.0", (font), (brush), 20, 20, (stringFormat)
