      // Creates a PdfDocument.
      using( var pdfoutput = PdfDocument.Create( outputPath ) )
      {
        // Gets the first Page of the document.
        var page = pdfoutput.Pages.First();
    
        // Adds a title.
        var titleStyle = TextStyle.WithFont( pdfoutput.Fonts.GetStandardFont( StandardFontType.Helvetica ), 15d );
        page.AddParagraph( "Use Standard Fonts", titleStyle, new ParagraphStyle( ParagraphHorizontalAlignment.Center ) );
    
        // Adds text with standard Courier Bold Oblique font.
        var helveticaTextStyle = TextStyle.WithFont( pdfoutput.Fonts.GetStandardFont( StandardFontType.CourierBoldOblique ), 15d );
        page.AddText( "This document contains the Courier Bold Oblique font.", new Point( 50, 100 ), helveticaTextStyle );
    
        // Adds text with standard Times Bold font in green.
        var timesBoldTextStyle = TextStyle.WithFontAndColor( pdfoutput.Fonts.GetStandardFont( StandardFontType.TimesBold ), 30d, Brushes.Green );
        page.AddText( "But also a green Times Bold font.", new Point( 20, 150 ), timesBoldTextStyle );
    
        // Saves the output document.
        pdfoutput.Save();
        Console.WriteLine( $"Info exported to path: {outputFileName}" );
      }
    }
