    Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4)
    PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("test23.pdf"));
    
    //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");
    chunk.setBackground(BaseColor.YELLOW);
    chunk.setAnchor("http://bethecoder.com");
