Having explained the above, I think I need to research Paulo's advice
Yes, reading your follow-up mail, I realize that I misunderstood your question. Changing the page boundaries using PdfReader and PdfStamper is the way to go. Go to page 442 of the book. There's an example there that explains how to change the rotation angle of a page. Remove the line pageDict.put(PdfName.ROTATE, new PdfNumber(rot + 90)); and experiment with pageDict.getAsArray(PdfName.MEDIABOX); and pageDict.getAsArray(PdfName.CROPBOX); Not all PDF pages will have a Crop Box (see page 145 and following), but they'll sure have a Media Box. What you want to do, is to replace the existing Media Box (and Crop Box if it's not null) with a larger rectangle (note that rectangles are expressed as arrays).
This is done like this:
pageDict.put(PdfName.MEDIABOX, rect);
Where rect is an instance of PdfArray with 4 values (the coordinates of the lower left corner and the upper right corner of a rectangle).
