There sure is. If you set up a ColumnText, then call .go(true), it'll
run in "simulated" mode, and won't actually draw anything. You can then
call getYLine() to see where the text ended.

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] shrink text to fit rectangle
Thank you. This looks like exactly what I am looking for.
One more question, is there a way for a given text to find
compute the size of the rectangle that would fit the text, assuming some
horizontal constraints (let's say the width can't go beyond a certain
value).
Thank you again.

There's some code in iText that does precisely this. Look in
the TextField source
<http://itext.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/itext/trunk/itext/src/main/java
/com/itextpdf/text/pdf/TextField.java?revision=4784&view=markup> for
appearance generation when the font size is set to zero, starting on
line 213 for multiline text, or on 247 for single-line text.
