I believe you are the one building the headers/chapters or whatever you call
it. If so, you can use a PdfPTable design where numbering value is left
aligned on the 1st column and label is left aligned in the second column.

If you do not want to deal with table design then you can also achieve the
same look using String.format

String.format("%5s", number); will pad the right of string with blank chars
until 5 chars. For right aligned you may use -5.

Good luck
