Text rendering mode

Docotic.Pdf Library Help > Samples > Text > Text rendering mode

This sample shows how to specify text rendering mode using PdfCanvas.TextRenderingMode property.

The text rendering mode specifies whether drawing text causes glyph outlines to be stroked, filled, used as a clipping boundary, or some combination of the three.
