How can I achieve this?

    Document document = new Document();
    PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(dest));
    document.open();
    Phrase phrase = new Phrase("Help me ");
    Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
    p.add(phrase);
    Phrase phrase1 = new Phrase("pls");
    LineSeparator ls = new LineSeparator();
    ls.setOffset(-2);
    phrase1.add(ls);
    p.add(phrase1);
    document.add(p);
    document.close();
}

You have an ls instance created like this:

LineSeparator ls = new LineSeparator();

You want the line to span half of the available width. That can be done with the setPercentage() method:

ls.setPercentage(50);
