Hey @suraj_singh3,

Convert the string to an image using `System.Drawing.Bitmap` and `Graphics.DrawString`.  
Save the image as PNG and load the PDF using `PdfReader` and `PdfStamper`.  
Insert the image at specific position with `SetAbsolutePosition` and `AddImage`, then save the PDF.

@suraj_singh3  
UiPath doesn’t provide built-in activities to add images to PDFs, and the Marketplace packages only support **Legacy Projects**. To work around this, you can use **Invoke Code** with .NET to insert an image into a PDF.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Add the **iTextSharp**.NET package to your project.  

2. Import these namespaces:

- `iTextSharp.text`
- `iTextSharp.text.pdf`
- `System.IO`

1. Use an **Invoke Code** activity to run the .NET code.

I’m sharing a sample .xaml file and Input files. You can adjust the image placement and size in the .NET code according to your requirements.
