See more:

Chunk c = new Chunk("TITLE", FontFactory.GetFont("Times New Roman", 2));
                            Paragraph p = new Paragraph(); // this line is error
                            p.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
                            p.IndentationLeft = 2;

cb.SetFontAndSize(BaseFont.CreateFont(), 10);
ct.SetSimpleColumn(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(50, 20, 40, 80));
ct.AddElement( new Paragraph(String.Format("TITLE DEFINE")));  //this line error.
                            ct.Go();

rows running in windows form do not work in wpf
why is that?

This error is:

Paragpraph is an ambiguous reference between System.Windows.Documents.Paragraph and iTextSharp.text.Paragraph

What I have tried:

Chunk c = new Chunk("TITLE", FontFactory.GetFont("Times New Roman", 2));
                            Paragraph p = new Paragraph(); // this line is error
                            p.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
                            p.IndentationLeft = 2;

cb.SetFontAndSize(BaseFont.CreateFont(), 10);
ct.SetSimpleColumn(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(50, 20, 40, 80));
ct.AddElement( new Paragraph(String.Format("TITLE DEFINE")));  //this line error.
                            ct.Go();

You can't totally change your question while there's at least one answer!
I'm rolling back to original one.

Pretty self-explanatory there; you are calling a class/method/property which has 2 possible definitions:
1. System.Windows.Documents.Paragraph
2. iTextSharp.text.Paragraph

So the compiler has no clue which one to choose.

Options:
1. Delete the reference (using) from this page of code if you don't need both
2. Define your Paragraph by its fully-qualified namespace.class.property

C#

iTextSharp.text.Paragraph p = new iTextSharp.text.Paragraph();
/* ---- OR --- */
System.Windows.Documents.Paragraph p = new System.Windows.Documents.Paragraph();
