This is a double post. The question was already posted and answered on the iText mailing-list. As Michaël Demey already indicated, you need to use ColumnText. There's an example with a result similar to what you need here. The result is a PDF with tables that are presented next to each other. Using the information of chapter 3 and 4 of my book it should be fairly easy to achieve what you want.

I would add the picture at an absolute postion with the ´setAbsolutePostion()´ method. I'd create a PdfPTable with all the data, and I'd add this table to a ColumnText object. Then I'd render the columns defining different rectangles with the setSimpleColumn() method, up until the contents of the column have been completely "consumed".
