There is a SetTextAlign method but no GetTextAlign - or am I missing the obvious?

Thanks

Once text has been added to the PDF there is no concept for alignment. There is just text objects in a PDF at specific co-ordinates of the page. These text objects have no awareness about the other types of objects around them, even other text objects, and so alignment is impossible.

The SetTextAlign function is only used when drawing text, to make life easier in doing your page layout.
