Hi,
I need to check if we can use ItextPDF for :
1. Identifying sections(collection of text/image content etc.) in my
existing PDF. The start of the section can be identified by Headings
in that PDF.
Yes and No.
No: you need to write code to achieve this.
Yes: this has been done before as described in this article and video:

2. Move a section of a page in the earlier page if there is enough
space for the section to start.
This question reveals a deep lack of understanding of the PDF format.
This is impossible in general (not limited to iText).
3. Move the section in the next page if there are 2 sections in the
same page.
Same answer as to question 2.
4. Move the section in the next page if there exists data of previous
section in the page.
Same answer as to question 2.
Basically merge two pdf content in one page according to order we want
and if the context exceeds the page size it should flow to next page.
You don't want to do this in PDF. PDF is not a format for editing
documents! Take the ORIGINAL SOURCE that was used to create the PDF and
apply the changes you need at that level BEFORE you create the PDF.
Kindly let me know if you need any more clarifications.
Some background info on why you are asking this question would be
helpful. In their current form, the questions are invalid. It's as if
you haven't done any research regarding PDF whatsoever before posting
this question and as a result, I am giving you a suboptimal answer.
