To have a multi-column rendering mode, you can use ColumnDocumentRenderer class:

Document document = new Document(pdfDocument);
Rectangle[] columns = new Rectangle[] {
     new Rectangle(30, 30, 200, 750), // coordinates of first column
     new Rectangle(300, 30, 200, 750) // coordinates of second column
}));
document.SetRenderer(new ColumnDocumentRenderer(document, columns));

Then just add elements to the document as usual:

document.Add(new Paragraph("Text string"));
