I can reproduce the problem with the following program:
document.setPageSize(PageSize.A4.rotate());
document.open();
Table t = new Table(5);
t.setWidth(100);
for (int k = 0; k < 500; ++k)
t.addCell("" + k);
document.setPageSize(PageSize.A4);
document.add(t);
document.close();
What happens is that the table width is set in page 1 (landscape) and
extends to the other pages (portrait) keeping the dimensions of the
first page. I don't know if I should consider it a bug, a table changing
width between pages is probably not what you want either.
The solution is to only do any page size changes after
document.add(table).
