Always wrap your code in PRE tags. It makes the question readable.

Now, you have posted the code but I am not very clear what are you looking for in it?

Seems like this is one that should be directed to the author of the PDF reader/writer library you are using. I guess the Stamper is supposed to clone the original document and has a bug or a setting you need to set.

fields.SetFields("SalesRep","SalesVine");
SalesRep is my PFD textbox ID. and salesVine would will be written there..but in between need to change font size coz this font size is too big in PDF. so how can i change font size..

OK, its big, so what? Want to make is smaller? And next time it will be too small...
What do you want to achieve? Any questions, anyway?

Not sure which PDF library you're using here but one that always works well for me is iTextSharp PDF:

using System.IO;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using iTextSharp.text.html;

public void generatePDF(string[] htmlPages, FileInfo Output, string password)
    {
        Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
        PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(Output.FullName, FileMode.Create));
        writer.SetEncryption(PdfWriter.STRENGTH128BITS, password, "MasterPassword", PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING);
        document.Open();
        for (int iteratePages = 0; iteratePages < htmlPages.Length; iteratePages++)
        {
            ArrayList lt = iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new StringReader(htmlPages[iteratePages]), null);
            ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(writer.DirectContent);
            ct.SetSimpleColumn(20, 20, PageSize.A4.Width - 20, PageSize.A4.Height - 20);
            for (int k = 0; k < lt.Count; ++k)
            {
                ct.AddElement((IElement)lt[k]);
            }
            document.NewPage();
            ct.Go();
        }
        document.AddAuthor("Your Name");
        document.AddCreator("Your Company");
        document.AddSubject("Doc Subject");
        document.AddTitle("Hello PDF");
        document.Close();
    }

The above function takes an array of HTML strings as the pages of the document so within that HTML you can specify the font size.
You need to reference itextsharp.dll which is avaiable to download here[^]
