    //Open the document before adding any content
    document.open();
    
    Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph("BE THE CODER");
    paragraph.add("\n");  //new line
    
    //the smallest significant part of text that can be added to a document
    Chunk chunk = new Chunk("be the coder",
        FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.COURIER, 16
            Font.ITALIC, BaseColor.BLUE));
    chunk.setBackground(BaseColor.YELLOW);
    
    paragraph.add(chunk);
