    {
        // Text objects will be saved as a PDF text with embedded fonts.
        // The only type of text that can't be saved as text is DoublePath text.

        writer.AddPage(width, height, RgbColor.White);

        var font = graphics.CreateFont("Arial", 18f);

        graphics.DrawText(plainText);

        {
            Center = new System.Drawing.PointF(width / 2.0f, height / 2.0f),
