The nested table works fine. Here is the code, hope this can help someone
with the same issue.
PdfPTable tb = new PdfPTable(2);
tb.setWidthPercentage(50);
tb.getDefaultCell().setPadding(0);
PdfPTable t1 = new PdfPTable(1);
t1.addCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase(sb.toString())));
tb.addCell(t1);
t1 = new PdfPTable(1);
t1.addCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase("cell 0, 1")));
t1.addCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase("cell 1, 1")));
tb.addCell(t1);
doc.add(tb);
