Use setSimpleColumn(), it's simpler. When you call go(), even in
simulation, the content is consumed. It should be:
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);
Phrase phr=new Phrase("Some text.\n\n",
FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 12));
ct.addText(phr);
ct.setSimpleColumn(56,52,483,790);
ColumnText ct2 = ColumnText.duplicate(ct);
ct.go(true);
ct2.go();
