You can trigger a newline by inserting Chunk.NEWLINE into your document. Here's an example.

public static void main(String args[]) {     try {         // create a new document         Document document = new Document( PageSize.A4, 20, 20, 20, 20 );         PdfWriter.getInstance( document, new FileOutputStream( "HelloWorld.pdf" ) );          document.open();          document.add( new Paragraph( "Hello, World!" ) );         document.add( new Paragraph( "Hello, World!" ) );          // add a couple of blank lines         document.add( Chunk.NEWLINE );         document.add( Chunk.NEWLINE );          // add one more line with text         document.add( new Paragraph( "Hello, World!" ) );          document.close();     }     catch (Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();     } } 

Below is a screen shot showing part of the PDF that the code above produces.
