There are two ways to do it. I assume you are using the header with page events? You could make sure you have enough room for the header by changing the top margin: see page 35 (or p38). This is advised if you work with document.add(). Or you could follow the advice given in the first paragraph of p185: wrap the PdfPTable in a ColumnText object. There was an example in one of the early versions of the book, but it was removed because of the order of the chapters: ColumnText is discussed after PdfPTable. However, you can find the example in the bonus section of Chapter 6; it is called TablesInColumns: http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/chapter.php?chapter=6#bonus The table is positioned using setSimpleColumn (see chapter 7).
