I’ll be happy to assist you on this and would like some additional information to do so. Can you tell me a bit more about your project? Are you creating a PDF and want all text in the document to be vertical, or do you only need to add some vertical text to an existing document?

For adding vertical text you could use a text widget and rotate the text as shown in this example or use Stamper to add rotated text stamp.

Please take a look and let know if this is what you are looking for.

Thanks.

I am creating a pdf format map. maps have many place names. i want the place names text vertical writing. for example, 北京，北 locates on up. 京 locates on bottom.

PDF::Font have a function IsHorizontalMode(). It can get the font writing mode, horizontal or vertical.but how to set a font vertical.

You do not set the horizontal mode, this checks if the font has a vertical writing mode. Can you tell me what font you are using and share it with us if you are able?

Did you try either of the examples I sent you and found they are not what you need? If that is the case can you send me the following?

  • Screen shots showing what you are trying to achieve, a sample file as well?
  • Are you creating a new PDF or editing an existing one, if you are editing can you share it?
  • The font you are using.

A text widget is probably not what you are looking for in this case. You can also use an ElementBuilder to add text . We have an example showing how to create a text run here:
