You'd have to write your own XML handler.
The quality of the PDF depends on the way you're parsing the XML.
Writing a good XML handler will take some time.

Maybe your tables aren't defined correctly.
Flying Saucer should accept tables.
Maybe you should ask the people at Flying Saucer;
or: write an XSL that converts your XML to HTML with tables
that are accepted by Flying Saucer.

Again: the quality of the PDF depends entirely on the quality of the XML
handler written by you (so it doesn't depend on iText, but on your
talent to write an XML handler).
