Im trying to get some string input of a textbox to a pdf document on a button click

i got a code from net

VB

Dim pdf As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument
       pdf.Info.Title = "My First PDF"
       Dim pdfPage As PdfPage = pdf.AddPage
       Dim graph As XGraphics = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(pdfPage)
       Dim font As XFont = New XFont("Verdana", 20, XFontStyle.Bold)
       graph.DrawString(Convert.ToString(txtdata.Text), font, XBrushes.Black, _
       New XRect(0, 0, pdfPage.Width.Point, pdfPage.Height.Point), XStringFormats.Center)
       Dim pdfFilename As String = "firstpage.pdf"
       pdf.Save(pdfFilename)
       Process.Start(pdfFilename)

the output of pdf file is just in a single line (other data got trimmed)...not in paragraph format....

My (txtdata.text) may contain at least 2 pages of text ..

is there any other way ?? if so please provide me step by step format.

thanking you in advance
