write lines on PDF

I want to write line by line on a pdf document the code I have is writing the text in the center of the page how can I write line by line?

// Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
document.Info.Title = "Created with PDFsharp";

// Create an empty page
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();

// Get an XGraphics object for drawing
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);

// Create a font
XFont font = new XFont("Verdana", 20, XFontStyle.BoldItalic);

// Draw the text
gfx.DrawString("Hello, World!", font, XBrushes.Black,
               new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height),
               XStringFormats.TopCenter);
Solution

  • With new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height) you specify where text will be drawn.
    Use a smaller rectangle and increase the second value from line to line.
