Update:
1. columnset = MultiColumnText
2. columnset.addElement(Paragraph) few times
3. document.add(columnset) <-- that makes text happen stick to the
first column, as expected.
4. columnset.nextColumn()
5. columnset.addElement(Image)
6. document.add(columnset)
Now I got new page break before Image, so my Image on the next page
for some weird reasons. :-( Source code of MultiColumnText says this:
-----------------8<--------------
public void nextColumn() throws DocumentException {
currentColumn = (currentColumn + 1) % columnDefs.size();
top = nextY;
if (currentColumn == 0) {
newPage();
}
}
-----------------8<--------------
Uhmm... Why would columnDefs.size() shift it to 0 (i.e. next page?).
So I issued "shiftCurrentColumn()" instead. And Image ended up on a
next column, however vertically shifted to the exact level, where text
finished on the first column, i.e. with some whitespace that is exact
tall as text in previous column. OK, the question is: how to reset Y
offset on the next column to get new object at a top?

Things, that are stupid at the beginning, rarely ends up wisely.
