I’d like to set the CharacterSpacing and WordSpacing when inserting text into pdf.

The PDFFormattedText looks good to insert text into pdf, but I do not see how to set the CharacterSpacing and WordSpacing.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

Hi Jason,

Try this:

using (var document = new PdfDocument())
{
    var page = document.Pages.Add();

    using (var formattedText = new PdfFormattedText())
    {
        formattedText.FontFamily = new PdfFontFamily("Times New Roman");
        formattedText.FontSize = 24;
        formattedText.AppendLine("Hello World");
        page.Content.DrawText(formattedText, new PdfPoint(100, 600));
    }

    document.Save("without-spacing.pdf");

    var textElement = page.Content.Elements.All().OfType<PdfTextContent>().First();
    textElement.Format.Text.CharacterSpacing = 5;
    textElement.Format.Text.WordSpacing = 20;

    document.Save("with-spacing.pdf");
}

Does this solve your issue?
