C# : 

using PDFMosaic;
using System.Drawing;
 
namespace WordSpacing
{
  class WordSpacing
  {
    static void Main()
    {
      PDFDocument document = new PDFDocument();
      document.Pages.Add(new PDFPage(PDFPaperFormat.A4));
      PDFCanvas canvas = document.Pages[0].Canvas;
 
      PDFFont font = new PDFFont("Arial", 16);
      PDFBrush brush = new PDFSolidBrush();
      PDFStringFormat sf = new PDFStringFormat();
 
      string text = "Word spacing = ";
 
      sf.WordSpacing = 12.0f;
      canvas.DrawString(text + "20.0", font, brush, 10, 100, sf);
 
      sf.WordSpacing = 5.0f;
      canvas.DrawString(text + "5.0", font, brush, 10, 130, sf);
 
      sf.WordSpacing = 1.0f;
      canvas.DrawString(text + "1.0", font, brush, 10, 160, sf);
 
      document.Save("WordSpacing.pdf", true);
    }
  }
}

  Sub Main()
    Dim document As PDFDocument = New PDFDocument()
    document.Pages.Add(New PDFPage(PDFPaperFormat.A4))
    Dim canvas As PDFCanvas = document.Pages(0).Canvas
 
    Dim font As PDFFont = New PDFFont("Arial", 16)
    Dim brush As PDFBrush = New PDFSolidBrush()
    Dim sf As PDFStringFormat = New PDFStringFormat()
 
    Dim text As String = "The test word spacing = "
 
    sf.WordSpacing = 12.0F
    canvas.DrawString(text + "20.0", font, brush, 10, 100, sf)
