# Initialize document object
document = apdf.Document()
# Add page
page = document.pages.add()
# Add text to new page
textFragment = apdf.text.TextFragment("Hello, world!")
textFragment.position = apdf.text.Position(100, 600)

textFragment.text_state.font_size = 12
textFragment.text_state.font = apdf.text.FontRepository.find_font(
    "TimesNewRoman"
)
textFragment.text_state.background_color = apdf.Color.blue
textFragment.text_state.foreground_color = apdf.Color.yellow

# Create TextBuilder object
textBuilder = apdf.text.TextBuilder(page)

# Append the text fragment to the PDF page
textBuilder.append_text(textFragment)

document.save(path_outfile)
