    public partial class pdf_elements_positions : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void BtnCreatePdf_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // create a new pdf document
            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

            // add a new page to the document
            PdfPage page = doc.AddPage();

            // create a new pdf font
            PdfFont font = doc.AddFont(PdfStandardFont.Helvetica);
            font.Size = 20;

            // define a rendering result object
            PdfRenderingResult result;

            // create a new text element and add it to the page
            // Important: get the rendering result returned by Add() 
            // into the PdfRenderingResult object
            PdfTextElement text = new PdfTextElement(0, 0, "Hello world!", font);
            result = page.Add(text);

            // add 10 more text element, leaving 30pt between the text lines
            for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
            {
                PdfTextElement elem = new PdfTextElement(0, 
                    result.PdfPageLastRectangle.Bottom + 30, "Text line " + i, font);
                result = page.Add(elem);
            }

            doc.Close();
