Thanks for your help. I was able to use the PdfContentByte to center my
headers. I haven't tried NO_BORDER yet but I do have a question about the
dots. In my example:
abc............123
wxyz..........456
I thought of making it a PdfPTable, adding a cell for which I set noWrap to
true. I'm assuming this means if the text in the row is too big for the
row, don't create a new line in the cell, just truncate the text. That is
what I want. I tried this (see code sample below) with no success. I
guess noWrap means something else. Is it just not possible to do what I
want?

You'll need to do it in a PdfContentByte.
BaseFont.getWidthPoint()
gives the char widths and after that it's a matter of arithmetic.

Set the border width to 0 or to NO_BORDER.

Use a page event instead of HeaderFooter.
You have some examples in the tutorial and in
