use Column like this :

Dim p As Phrase = New Phrase("your txt", FontFactory.GetFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1250, True, fsize)) 
Dim ct As New ColumnText(cb) 
ct.SetSimpleColumn(p, x, y, ux, uy, 10, Element.ALIGN_LEFT)
ct.Go()

and fix width hight bloc ux, uy

Not sure why this was downvoted, this is nearly identical to the code I use to wrap text in my project. – quip Feb 05 '13 at 16:51
