Paulo, Thank you very much, sorry for not reading the tutorial well enough to find this information, I must compliment the tutorial for this library, this is better than most tutorials on even library that costs a lot of money.

See the example wide_table.java at itextpdf.sf.net.

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.
