The dimensions are gotten by

String pdf = "D:\\images\\example.pdf";
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader reader = new 
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader(pdf);
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1);
System.out.println("width " + page.getWidth() + " height " + page.getHeight());

The width is 612 and height is 792.

I am reposting my question, since I don't see how I can reply to a topic:

I have a file that when opened with Adobe Reader, it is displayed as 792x612.
But when the page is loaded in iText, it says that the dimensions are 612x792.
Why the discrepancy?

Your question "When the page is loaded in iText, it says that the dimensions 
are 612x792" is invalid.

It is invalid because it's impossible to find out what you mean by "When the 
page is loaded in iText" and what is saying that "the dimensions are 612x792".

Attached is a screenshot showing the page dictionary of the first page of your 
document. As you can see, the page size is 612x792 if you ask for the MediaBox 
using getPageSize(); However, when you use getPageRotation(), you'll find out 
that the page needs to be rotated by 90 degrees. If the page had a CropBox that 
is smaller than the MediaBox, then the page size as shown by Adobe Reader will 
be smaller than the size returned by getPageSize(). You'll need getCropBox() to 
find the correct dimensions.
