public void PageLayoutCallback()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Title = "My Document";

    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
    builder.Writeln("Hello world!");

    doc.LayoutOptions.Callback = new RenderPageLayoutCallback();
    doc.UpdatePageLayout();

    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Layout.PageLayoutCallback.pdf");
}
