TabStop tabStop = new TabStop(ConvertUtil.InchToPoint(3), TabAlignment.Left, TabLeader.Dashes);
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add(tabStop);

// 2 -  Pass the values for properties of a new tab stop to the "Add" method:
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add(ConvertUtil.MillimeterToPoint(100), TabAlignment.Left,
    TabLeader.Dashes);

// Add tab stops at 5 cm to all paragraphs.
foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true).OfType<Paragraph>())
{
    para.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add(ConvertUtil.MillimeterToPoint(50), TabAlignment.Left,
        TabLeader.Dashes);
}

// Every "tab" character takes the builder's cursor to the location of the next tab stop.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.Writeln("Start\tTab 1\tTab 2\tTab 3\tTab 4");
