As of at least v7 itext now supports using new lines for line breaks:

var table = new Table( 1 );

var p = new Paragraph()
    .Add( "Line 1" )
    .Add( Environment.NewLine ) // or just "\r\n"
    .Add( "Line 2" );

table.AddCell( p );

You should generally use Paragraph instead of manually setting line breaks when using PDF generation tools like iText.

var cell = new Cell();
cell.Add(new Paragraph("This is line 1");
cell.Add(new Paragraph("This should be line 2, and it is!~");
