Answer 1

I stumbled across a solution while trying to resolve this issue for my own needs. I created a Table object and defined multiple columns. The first column was set to a minimum width, and the rest the appropriate widths to position text being positioned on the form. I am producing an image about 1"x7". The image was added to the cell in the first column of a table row. It's dimensions as set by SetAbsoluteHeight and SetAbsoluteWidth far exceeded the size of the column, so the image kind of bled into/under the remaining columns of the row. For the text being overlaid onto the image, column widths, adding Chunk.Newlines, and paragraph SetLeading (to effect line spacing) were used to adjust text positioning.
