            pageLayout1.Name = "Layout1";
            pageLayout1.PageLayoutProperties.TopMargin    = new Size(3, Unit.Centimeter);
            pageLayout1.PageLayoutProperties.BottomMargin = new Size(3, Unit.Centimeter);
            pageLayout1.PageLayoutProperties.LeftMargin   = new Size(3, Unit.Centimeter);
            pageLayout1.PageLayoutProperties.RightMargin  = new Size(3, Unit.Centimeter);

            doc.CommonStyles.AutomaticStyles = new AutomaticStyles();
            doc.CommonStyles.AutomaticStyles.PageLayouts.Add(pageLayout1);

            MasterPage masterPage1 = new MasterPage();
            masterPage1.Name = "Standard";
            masterPage1.PageLayout = "Layout1";

            doc.CommonStyles.MasterStyles = new MasterStyles();
