I don't understand: the beauty of ColumnText is that
you don't need to know the size. You should call go()
and if there's more text left, you go to another
column/page.

That's because the current leading is 0.
If you add a paragraph with a certain leading to the
document, and then do the document.add() invocations,
there will be space between the lines.
There are different ways to achieve the same result,
but I don't know which one would be best in your case.
Maybe this would help:
StyleSheet styles = new StyleSheet();
styles.loadTagStyle("b", "leading", "12,0");
Give it a try.
Another possible solution, is to add all the elements
in ArrayList p to a Paragraph object, the add this
Paragraph to the document.
