The ONLY THING between BT and ET should be the matrix and the text - move the font calls outside the BT/ET block

In the meantime, I could generate the same error at the ContentByte level. Here it is obvious that something strange is going on: document = new Document(); document.Open(); writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, pdfFile); cb = writer.DirectContent; cb.BeginText(); bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(fontfile, BaseFont.WINANSI, true); cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, fontSize); cb.SetTextMatrix(a, b, c, d, e, f); //values for a,b,c,d,e,f : 45, 450, 550, 479, 0, 1 cb.ShowText(contentString); //value for contentString = "Astrological Portrait" cb.EndText(); document.NewPage(); The font I use is Century Gothic True Type (GOTHIC.ttf), the contentString is two words only. I switched back to 3.1.1 and get no error. I compared the two objects cb and document and they seem the same for both 3.1.1 and 5.0.4 versions. It is strange but in both versions I cannot actually find the cb content within the document object. Anyway I'm getting the same error when using iTextSharp 5.0.4: Error: Unbalanced begin/end text operators (By the way, when I use this code instead of the ColumnText code above with 3.1.1 I'm getting huge letters!)
