Chapter-2 example on countrychunks - itext

Question

I am trying to run Countrychunks example from the Chapter 2. The example works but the line: document.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE); does not produce the new line and the loop overwrites the first line. I am posting my code here in case I am doing anything wrong:
public void createCountryChunks(String fileName)
{
iTextSharp.text.Font font;
Document document = new iTextSharp.text.Document();
//PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(fileName)).setInitialLeading(16);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create));
document.Open();
font = new iTextSharp.text.Font(iTextSharp.text.Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 6, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, iTextSharp.text.BaseColor.WHITE);
foreach (var p in myProducts)
{
// add a country to the document as a Chunk
document.Add(new Chunk(p.pr_name));
document.Add(new Chunk(" "));
Chunk id = new Chunk(p.pr_URN.ToString(), font);
// with a background color
id.SetBackground(BaseColor.BLACK, 1f, 0.5f, 1f, 1.5f);
// and a text rise
id.SetTextRise(6);
document.Add(id);
document.Add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
}
document.Close();
}
As you can see the example is a bit different because of the data but the rest is almost the same as the original Java example.
Any suggestions please?

The setInitialLeading call that you weren't able to bring over and was commented out was actually very important. Adding that back in will solve your problems. I really don't like to add properties directly onto my constructed objects so I'm going to do it in two lines:
var w = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create));
w.InitialLeading = 16;
