The text coordinate y in PDF is the font baseline, not the font top. Maybe that's the problem.

It is perfectly matching with the inedisgn coordinates and my calculation to render. But my problem when i put the text pdfContentByte.BeginText() pdfContentByte.SetFontAndSize(bf, 18) pdfContentByte.SetTextMatrix(72, 144) pdfContentByte.ShowText("Sample") pdfContentByte.Stroke() pdfContentByte.EndText() I get a difference in the coordinate and it varies when i change the font sizes. Is there any way i could perfectly fix at one position.
