Hi,

First of all: I haven't done any developing in Metro at all.
Secondly: Do note that it's not favorable to just use .NET libraries in 
Metro and expecting them to work out of the box without checking 
compatibility. Metro has changed quite a few things.


I assume you're talking about the Stream parameter that doesn't exist in 
Metro, because System.IO has been replaced by Windows.Storage. iText 
requires the System.IO classes and does not take the Windows.Storage 
classes, making a quick use of the .NET library in the Metro environment 
impossible.

Do note that Metro works in a sandbox, accessing the filesystem works 
differently than in a .NET environment.


My suggestions:

Try googling for a workaround for the System.IO classes in Metro, like a 
3rd party library or some sample code.

Or you could try adding the System.dll and mscorlib.dll to your project. 
Not guaranteed to work.


Kind regards,
Michael.
