38-
1. Create a `RectangleGeometry` and define its dimensions.
39-
2. Create a `Path` and set the `RectangleGeometry` to its geometry.
40-
3. Set the `IsFilled` and `IsStroked` properties of the path to true.
41-
4. Specify the `Fill`, `Stroke`, and `StrokeThickness` properties for the path.
42-
5. Add the path to the page content.
33+
1. Draw a rectangle by creating a **Path** with a **RectangleGeometry** , defining its dimensions, formatting it, and inserting it in the page.
34+
2. Create a **Block** of text, format it, and draw it on top of the rectangle with the **FixedContentEditor** by specifying its **Position**.
35+
3. Draw a second rectangle at a different position.
36+
4. Create an image **Block** and draw it on top of the second rectangle with the **FixedContentEditor** while specifying its **Position**.
37+
5. Export the **RadFixedDocument** to PDF.
