Dim pen As New PdfPen(brush, 0.75f)
Dim font As New PdfTrueTypeFont(New System.Drawing.Font(“Arial”, 10f,System.Drawing.FontStyle.Italic), True)
Dim rightAlign As New PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Right)

rightAlign.MeasureTrailingSpaces = True
rightAlign.MeasureTrailingSpaces = True
Dim space As Single = font.Height * 1
Dim x As Single = 0
Dim y As Single = 0
Dim width As Single=0
Using pdf As New PdfDocument()
pdf.LoadFromFile(“input file”)
Dim margin As PdfMargins = pdf.PageSettings.Margins
Dim newPage As PdfPageBase
Dim newPdf As New PdfDocument()
For Each page As PdfPageBase In pdf.Pages
newPage = newPdf.Pages.Add(page.Size,New PdfMargins(0))
newPage.Canvas.SetTransparency(0.5f)
x = margin.Left
width = page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width - margin.Left - margin.Right
y = margin.Top
'newPage.Canvas.DrawLine(pen, x, y+45, x + width, y+45)
Console.WriteLine(“x”+x.ToString+“y”+y.ToString)
'y = y+10 - font.Height
