In itext I have a chunk/phrase/paragraph (I dont mind which) and I want to position some where else on the page e.g. at 300 x 200. How would I do this?

Hope this help you! Here is my code...
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, output);
document.open();
FixText("Add Your Text",400,700,writer,14);
document.close();
Add Function:
private static void FixText(String text, int x, int y,PdfWriter writer,int size) {
try {
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
cb.saveState();
cb.beginText();
cb.moveText(x, y);
cb.setFontAndSize(bf, size);
cb.showText(text);
cb.endText();
cb.restoreState();
} catch (DocumentException | IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
