No, and it wouldn't make sense to have a generic case, there would be too many options. It's easy to do, though, provided that you know exactly want you want. You'll see that knowing exactly what ones want is a lot more that just saying "automatic setting of widths". In general you read all the table fields, get the max width with BaseFont.getWidthPoint() and construct the PdfPTable from there. The problem is that the page doesn't extend forever and some choices will have to be done like truncating, line splitting, table splitting if too wide, etc.
