Thanks for prompt response.
PageSize.A4.rotate() will change size of the paper. But I want to rotate content of the page as well.
The original document has wide tables.
The only way that I see for now is:
1) produce original document as an external file
2) read it via PdfReader and put each page as template with rotation on 90 degrees.
This way should work. But the beauty of in-memory document generation will be lost.
P.S. PDF has rich legacy of PostScript language. Is not it simple to add analogs of "rotate" and "transfer" commands to vocabulary of iText?
I have chacked "rotated PDF" and found one little difference with "original" counterpart.
Each page in "rotated" file has: /Type/Page/MediaBox [0 0 612 792] /Rotate 90/Parent 3 0 R /Resources<</ProcSet[/PDF /Text] /ExtGState 11 0 R /Font 12 0 R
/Contents 6 0 R
instead of: /Type/Page /Parent 1 0 R /Resources 9 0 R /MediaBox[0 0 612 792] /Contents[5 0 R ]
As you see it is just one simple command "Rotate 90" after description of *SAME* MedaiBox.
Is not this neat?!

Using PageSize.A4.rotate() should work. If Hylafax doesn't care about the rotation it will show as portrait and print correctly.
