Solution 1

Simple, do not write to the file direct from the text box. Use a StringBuilder to create the prefix text followed by the data from the textbox.

Solution 2

Rather than trying to insert spaces at the start of each paragraph, set the first line indent on the Paragraph object:

C#

var para = new iTextsharp.text.Paragraph(richTextBox.text);
para.SetFirstLineIndent(75);
doc.Add(para);
