Answer 1

iText in Action, 2nd Edition, in chapter 13 has an example which rotates all pages in a PDF file by 90 degrees. The sample source code is available as RotatePages.java in the SourceForge iText SVN repository.

Answer 2

I solved simply in this way:

Document document = new Document(PageSize.A5.rotate(), 10, 10, 10, 10);

So

PageSize.A5 generate a page which size is vertical half of A4

PageSize.A5.rotate() generate a page which size is horizontal half of A4
