I was just playing with ColumnText and couldn't get the text to show up with
just a call to ct.go(). Looking at the example, I ended up calling
columnText.go();
columnText.setYLine( 8.0f * 72 );
columnText.setAlignment( Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED );
columnText.go();
Not sure where the problem lies, but leaving out either the setYLine() or
the setAlignment() calls resulted in no text showing up.

Subject: RE: [iText-questions] drawing rotated text?
I want to rotate a piece of text 90 degrees counter-clockwise. I wrote the
code below with no attempts at using rotation and the string shows up
fine. When I added in the saveState(), concatCTM(), and restoreState()
method calls, the text does not show up at all. Is there a step I am
missing?
// oneGenericIdBlock is a PdfTemplate
oneGenericIdBlock.saveState(); // new
code
// cos, sin, -sin, cos, 0, 0
oneGenericIdBlock.concatCTM(0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0); //
new code
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(oneGenericIdBlock);
ct.setSimpleColumn(x, textY,
x + (2f * BUBBLE_RADIUS),
y,
7, Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
ct.addText(new Chunk("9", bubbleFont));
ct.go();
oneGenericIdBlock.restoreState(); // new
code
Thanks.
