+## Description
+
+Learn how to add borders around images in the generated PDF document.
+
+## Solution
+
+### Drawing Borders Around Images
+Follow one of the approaches below:
+
+#### Approach 1: Using a Table with Borders
+```csharp
+RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument();
+RadFixedPage page = document.Pages.AddPage(); 
+FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page);
+int thickness = 3;
+
+RgbColor bordersColor = new RgbColor(255, 0, 0);
+Border border = new Border(thickness, Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Editing.BorderStyle.Single, bordersColor);
+TableCellBorders tableCellsBorder = new TableCellBorders(border, border, border, border, null, null);
+Table table = new Table();
+table.Borders = new TableBorders(border);
+table.DefaultCellProperties.Borders = tableCellsBorder;
+TableRow imgRow = table.Rows.AddTableRow();
+TableCell imgCell = imgRow.Cells.AddTableCell();
+imgCell.Borders = tableCellsBorder;
+Block imageBlock = imgCell.Blocks.AddBlock();
+imageBlock.HorizontalAlignment = Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Editing.Flow.HorizontalAlignment.Center;
+imageBlock.InsertImage(new FileStream("banner.png", FileMode.Open));
+
+table.Draw(editor, new Rect(5, 5, page.Size.Width, page.Size.Height));
+
+PdfFormatProvider pdfProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();
+using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(@"..\..\exported.pdf"))
+{
+    pdfProvider.Export(document, output);
+}
+```
+
+#### Approach 2: Using FixedContentEditor to Draw a Rectangle Border
+```csharp
+RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument();
+RadFixedPage page = document.Pages.AddPage();
+FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page);
+
+double thickness = 3; 
+double x = 10; 
+double y = 10; 
+double width = 150; 
+double height = 150; 
+string imagePath = "banner.png";
+
+// Determine image dimensions
+using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(imagePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
+{
+    using (var img = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs, false, false))
+    {
+        width = img.Width;
+        height = img.Height;
+    }
+}
+
+// Draw rectangle border
+editor.Position.Translate(x - thickness, y - thickness);
+editor.SaveGraphicProperties();
+editor.GraphicProperties.StrokeColor = new RgbColor(255, 0, 0);
+editor.GraphicProperties.StrokeThickness = thickness;
+editor.DrawRectangle(new Rect(0, 0, width + thickness * 2, height + thickness * 2));
+editor.RestoreGraphicProperties();
+
+// Draw image
+using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(imagePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
+{
+    editor.Position.Translate(x, y);
+    editor.DrawImage(fs);
+}
+
+PdfFormatProvider pdfProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();
+using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(@"..\..\exported.pdf"))
+{
+    pdfProvider.Export(document, output);
+}
+```
