title: Alter PDF - Text repositioning
body: <p>Is there any way to <strong>shift / move</strong> the text inside existing pdf page <strong>to some other position</strong>?</p>
  
  <p>Like there is some text at area x=100, y=100, w=100, h=100 and i want to move it to x=50, y=200, w=100, h=100. </p>
  
  <p>I did a lot of research and it seems <code>iTextSharp</code> cannot do that. <code>PDFSharp</code> claims that it can be done but i could not find any examples.</p>
  
  <p>One way is to make a bitmap of specific area of the text i want to shift, draw white rectangle over that area and insert bitmap at new location. I don't want to use this solution as i work with large pdf files with more than 1K pages where each page has to be altered.</p>
  
  <p>What i found out is that i need to find a way to change text-positioning operators (text matrix and the text state parameters) which is not that simple. </p>
  
  <p>Anyone has any ideas?</p>
