This is explained in the CheckboxCell example. That example was written in answer to Resizing a form field in iTextSharp, but it also answers your question.

Note that your question remained unanswered for so long because you used the [itextpdf] tag instead of [itext] or [itextsharp]. I only found this question by coincidence.
