Please use given code, i hope i will be most helpful for those who want to print a text in a cell in middle and top alignment protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { gettable(); }

    void gettable()
    {
        using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), "Vedic-Chart-Life-Report.pdf"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read))
        {

            Document doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
            PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs);
            doc.Open();
            doc.NewPage();

            BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont("C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/krdv010.TTF", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
            Font f = new Font(bf, 16, Font.BOLD);

            PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;

            cb.MoveTo(0, doc.PageSize.Height - 20);
            cb.LineTo(doc.PageSize.Width, doc.PageSize.Height - 20);
            cb.Stroke();
            cb.ClosePathStroke();

            PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
            PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("eaxynks'k foospu", f));

            // Give our rows some height so we can see test vertical alignment.
            cell.FixedHeight = 15f;
            cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1;
            cell.VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_TOP;

            table.AddCell(cell);
            doc.Add(table);

            //cb.RoundRectangle(10f, 550f, 592f, 200f, 20f);
            //cb.Stroke();

            //doc.Add(new Phrase("eaxynks'k foospu", f));

            doc.Close();
        }

    }
