Text Position AND Wrapping at the same time in ASPOSE PDF (C#)

This code will get me the text I want in the position I want on the page BUT NOT wrapped:

        TextFragment tf = new TextFragment(text);
        TextParagraph tp = new TextParagraph();

        tf.TextState.Font = FontRepository.FindFont("Times New Roman");
        tf.TextState.FontSize = font_size;
        tf.TextState.ForegroundColor = color;
        tf.HorizontalAlignment = align;
        tf.Position = new Position(h_position, v_position);

        tp.Position = tf.Position;
        tp.AppendLine(tf);
        tp.HorizontalAlignment = align;

        TextBuilder tb = new TextBuilder(p);
        tb.AppendParagraph(tp);

This code will get me the text I want wrapped BUT NOT positioned correctly on the page…

        TextFragment tf = new TextFragment(text);

        tf.TextState.Font = FontRepository.FindFont("Times New Roman");
        tf.TextState.FontSize = font_size;
        tf.TextState.ForegroundColor = color;
        tf.HorizontalAlignment = align;
        tf.Position = new Position(h_position, v_position);

        p.Paragraphs.Add(tf);

Can I have both positioning and wrapping working at the same time?
Thanks

Would you please share the generated PDFs using both code snippets for our reference? We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

Please specify the text formatting for the TextParagraph as below:

// specify word wraping mode
tp.FormattingOptions.WrapMode = TextFormattingOptions.WordWrapMode.DiscretionaryHyphenation;
// set subsequent lines indent
tp.SubsequentLinesIndent = 20;

Also, you do not need to set Position for TextFragment when you are setting it for TextParagraph.

PS: We used 23.5 version of the API to test the case using suggested options.

This code works, BUT …
What does this [tp.SubsequentLinesIndent = 20] mean in this context? It works and I’m happy for that, but how do I know what value this might need to be in other contexts? I looked up the API, and there is no useful info given.
Thanks!

It is a value to indent the text from left side. For example, please check the attached image: image.png (27.5 KB)
