There's support for it using PdfPTable. See the example
wide_table.java at itextpdf.sf.net. It's not automatic, as there would be
too many choices to make, but it's quite easy.

That's done with templates. You have examples at
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch10.html#pageXofY and
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch12.html#generictagevent. Have also a
look at Formtest.java at itextpdf.sf.net.
