{

Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 88f, 88f, 10f, 10f);

//Font Normalfont = FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 12, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);

using (System.IO.MemoryStream memorystream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())

{

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, memorystream);

Phrase phrase = null;

PdfPCell cell = null;

PdfPTable table = null;

doc.Open();

table = new PdfPTable(1);

table.TotalWidth = 400f;

table.LockedWidth = true;

table.SetWidths(new float[] { 1f });

phrase = new Phrase();

phrase.Add(new Chunk("COMPLETION OF TRAINING\n\n", FontFactory.GetFont("Colonna MT", 16, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLUE)));

phrase.Add(new Chunk("This Certifies That\n\n", FontFactory.GetFont("Algerian", 14, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));

phrase.Add(new Chunk(lblname.Text + "\n\n", FontFactory.GetFont("Cambria", 14, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.RED)));

phrase.Add(new Chunk("Has successfully attended and completed\n\n", FontFactory.GetFont("Agency FB", 14, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));

phrase.Add(new Chunk("INDUCTION TRAINING", FontFactory.GetFont("Gabriola", 14, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));

cell = PhraseCell(phrase, PdfPCell.ALIGN_CENTER);

cell.VerticalAlignment = PdfPCell.ALIGN_CENTER;

table.AddCell(cell);

doc.Add(table);

PdfContentByte content = writer.DirectContent;

Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(doc.PageSize);

rectangle.Left += doc.LeftMargin;

rectangle.Right -= doc.RightMargin;

rectangle.Top -= doc.TopMargin;

rectangle.Bottom += doc.BottomMargin;

content.SetColorStroke(BaseColor.YELLOW);

content.Rectangle(rectangle.Left, rectangle.Bottom, rectangle.Width, rectangle.Height);

content.Stroke();

doc.Close();

byte[] bytes = memorystream.ToArray();

memorystream.Close();

Response.Clear();

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

Response.AddHeader("content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=InductionCertificate.pdf");

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

Response.Buffer = true;

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);

Response.End();

Response.Close();

}

private static PdfPCell PhraseCell(Phrase phrase, int align)

{

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(phrase);

cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.WHITE;

cell.VerticalAlignment = PdfPCell.ALIGN_TOP;

cell.HorizontalAlignment = align;

cell.PaddingBottom = 2f;

cell.PaddingTop = 0f;

return cell;

Font fdefault = FontFactory.GetFont("Gabriola", 14, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLUE);
doc.Add(new Paragraph("COMPLETION OF TRAINING\n\n", fdefault));

Hi Priya ,

Use these code

Font fon = FontFactory.GetFont("ARIAL", 14); //Here you can give any font name
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc,System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
