Answer 1

According to this, no, you cannot manually force a page break within a table. Your primary alternatives are to either just make multiple tables or use WriteSelectedRows. If you are forcing a page break then you generally "know when" you want to do it so either option should work. Multiple tables allow you to still leverage iTextSharp's flow logic whereas WriteSelectedRows gives you more control but assumes you have calculated if things actually fit. See this for a sample of using WriteSelectedRows.

To control the document's size you can either use the constructor to Document which optionally takes a Rectangle and a margin or you can call SetPageSize on the Document if you want to control it per-page.
