Hello,
I would suggest creating a ColumnText that uses your PdfContentByte, and
then adding the paragaphs and lists to the ColumnText. ColumnText is one
of two iText classes which know how to layout content on a page, the
other being Document.
Alternately, you can do it the other way round, and create a new
Document to which you import the pages of your existing PDF as page
backgrounds. Depending on how much content you want to add, one method
might be more suitable than the other. In particular, ColumnText doesn't
trigger page breaks automatically.
