Please do yourself a favor and read the documentation!

As explained in the Getting started section, measurements are expressed in user units, and there are 72 user units in an inch, so:

8.5 inch x 72 points = 612 user units
12 inch x 72 points = 864 user units

So you need to create a rectangle like this:

Rectangle pagesize = new Rectangle(612, 864);

and a document like this:

Document document = new Document(pagesize);

Well, if you create a `Document` with a custom page size, you don't need the `PageSize` class anywhere in your code, because you are using the `Rectangle` class. Remove `PageSize` from your code. – Bruno Lowagie Aug 24 '16 at 06:31
Also: why would you use a propery `paperSize`? That property doesn't exist. I don't mention it anywhere in my answers. – Bruno Lowagie Aug 24 '16 at 06:32
Thanks a lot @Bruno Lowagie it works, you are my online tutor – Kamal kannan Aug 24 '16 at 06:33
Yah your correct before that i was used PageSize.A4, so i just removed A4 and add PageSize.paperSize. Now i fixed it. – Kamal kannan Aug 24 '16 at 06:35
