section2.Pages.Add();
section2.Pages.Add();
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(0, 0, document.Pages[0].GetClientSize().Width, 140);
// Create the template
PdfPageTemplateElement header = new PdfPageTemplateElement(rect);
header.Graphics.DrawRectangle(PdfPens.Red, rect);
header.Graphics.DrawString("First Page Header", new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 12), PdfBrushes.Red, new PointF(10, 10));
