I know this is a little old, but there is yet another way. Here is a little from one report I used.

            var contents = new Paragraph();
            contents.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;

            contents.Add(new Chunk(string.Format("{0} {1}\n", emp.FirstName, emp.LastName), new Font(baseFont, 11f, Font.BOLD)));
            contents.Add(new Chunk(string.Format("Dept: {0}\n", emp.Departments.Title), new Font(baseFont, 9f)));
            contents.Add(new Chunk(string.Format("Wk Ending:  {0}\n", _date), new Font(baseFont, 9f)));

As you can see, what i did was create chunks. This allows you use to use "\n" to preform line breaks.
