Paulo, 

You said:

"Put it inside another template with the right dimensions."

Can you provide more detail on how I would do that?  I assume you mean put the 
PDFTemplate into another template?  I am looping through a data set when 
creating the template, so there is a varying amount of white space on the left 
that I'd like to chop before changing it to an Image for further manipulation.

Thanks, I am still learning iText.

Steve
