How to add text inside a rectangle?
My rectangle code is
Document doc = new Document(new Rectangle(570, 924f)); PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc,Response.OutputStream); PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent; cb.Rectangle(doc.PageSize.Width -90f, 830f, 50f,50f); cb.Stroke();

You are drawing a rectangle like this:
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
cb.Rectangle(doc.PageSize.Width -90f, 830f, 50f,50f);
cb.Stroke();
This corresponds with this Rectangle
:
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(
doc.PageSize.Width - 90f, 830f,
doc.PageSize.Width - 40f, 880f);
You can add text inside this rectangle like this:
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);
ct.SetSimpleColumn(rect);
ct.AddElement(new Paragraph("This is the text added in the rectangle"));
ct.Go();
