How to you center and align right on Pdf header template?

[Anita Sheffield]

I have created a pdf, and find I can center and right-align text by using the PdfTextElement and Draw with a rectangleF. But when I created a PdfPageTemplateElement to group the items into a header, I cannot center and align-right the text. How do I do this? I need to center a title and right-align and left-align a few PdfTextElements.

this works for items drawn directly on page:
PdfStringFormat strformat = new PdfStringFormat () { WordWrap = PdfWordWrapType.Word, LineLimit = true, Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Center };
PdfTextElement txtElement = new PdfTextElement(vm.SubmitAllData.TestSheets [vm.SubmitAllData.CurrentTestsheet].printname)
            { Font = FontResources.PdfHeaderFont, Brush= blackbrush, StringFormat = strformat };
PdfLayoutResult result = txtElement.Draw(page, new RectangleF(0, 70, doc.PageSettings.Width, 30));

How do I draw it on the header? I tried this but it doesn't center the text:
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(0, 0, doc.PageSettings.Width, headheight);
PdfPageTemplateElement header = new PdfPageTemplateElement(rect);
PdfGraphics hg = header.Graphics;
. . .
txtElement.Draw (hg, new PointF(0, 70));

I figured this out - Using the .Draw method., pass the header.Graphics, and if the PdfTextElement is set to Center - it centers at the position PointF, if it is set to right justify - PointF is used as the right side of the text.
txtElement.Draw (hg, new PointF(0, 70));

This was an old post, using a 2015 version of syncfusion, but it is still working code for us. We are also adding a logo on the left side of the header.  I hope this helps. 

RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(0, 0, doc.PageSettings.Width, headheight);

PdfPageTemplateElement header = new PdfPageTemplateElement(rect);

try
{

        PdfGraphics hg = header.Graphics;                

        PdfSolidBrush blackbrush = new PdfSolidBrush(ColorResources.pdfblack);
        PdfStringFormat strformat = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Center,                 PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle) { WordWrap = PdfWordWrapType.Word, LineLimit = true };

        if (logoImg != null)

        {
               hg.DrawImage(logoImg, 10, 0, 140, 40f);
        } 

        PdfTextElement txtElement = new PdfTextElement("Inventory Report For Location: " + location)
                { Font = FontResources.PdfHeaderFont, Brush = blackbrush, StringFormat = strformat };
        txtElement.Draw(hg, new PointF(doc.PageSettings.Width / 2, 40));

RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(0, 0, doc.PageSettings.Width, headheight);
            PdfPageTemplateElement header = new PdfPageTemplateElement(rect);
            try
            {
                PdfGraphics hg = header.Graphics;                PdfSolidBrush blackbrush = new PdfSolidBrush(ColorResources.pdfblack);
                PdfStringFormat strformat = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Center, PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle) { WordWrap = PdfWordWrapType.Word, LineLimit = true };
                if (logoImg != null)
                {
                    hg.DrawImage(logoImg, 10, 0, 140, 40f);
                }                PdfTextElement txtElement = new PdfTextElement("Inventory Report For Location: " + location)
                { Font = FontResources.PdfHeaderFont, Brush = blackbrush, StringFormat = strformat };
                txtElement.Draw(hg, new PointF(doc.PageSettings.Width / 2, 40));

RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(0, 0, doc.PageSettings.Width, headheight);
            PdfPageTemplateElement header = new PdfPageTemplateElement(rect);
            try
            {
                PdfGraphics hg = header.Graphics;                PdfSolidBrush blackbrush = new PdfSolidBrush(ColorResources.pdfblack);
                PdfStringFormat strformat = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Center, PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle) { WordWrap = PdfWordWrapType.Word, LineLimit = true };
                if (logoImg != null)
                {
                    hg.DrawImage(logoImg, 10, 0, 140, 40f);
                }                PdfTextElement txtElement = new PdfTextElement("Inventory Report For Location: " + location)
                { Font = FontResources.PdfHeaderFont, Brush = blackbrush, StringFormat = strformat };
                txtElement.Draw(hg, new PointF(doc.PageSettings.Width / 2, 40));
