Drawing drawing = page.AddDrawing();

// font size constant
const int fontSize = 50;

// X position of the text to draw
int textX = 10;
// Y position of the text to draw
int textY = 50;

// Add standard font
uint font = document.AddFontStandard(StandardFontType.TimesRoman, FontEncodingType.WinAnsi);

// Set Active Font
drawing.SetActiveFont(font, fontSize, false, false);

// Set fill color
drawing.SetFillColor(Drawing.RGBToColor(111, 111, 111));

// Use all types
foreach (TextRenderingModeType type in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TextRenderingModeType)))
{
// Store drawing state
drawing.StateStore();

// Set text rendering mode
drawing.SetTextRenderingMode(type);

// Set line widh
drawing.SetLineWidth(1);

// Draw text
drawing.PlaceText(textX, textY, 0, type.ToString());

// Set line width
