<h5 id="C1_C1Pdf_C1PdfDocumentBase_UseFastTextOut_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>When laying out text, by default the MeasureText Windows API is used.
It is precise but rather slow which may be noticeable if the document contains large amounts of text.</p>
<p>Setting this property to true uses the MeasureString .NET API instead.
It is much faster but may result in non-optimal text layout.</p>
