That's possible with method setHorizontalScaling:
Chunk c = new Chunk("slender");
c.setHorizontalScaling(0.8f);
The float is a percentage (in this case 80%).

Other transformation that are possible with Chunk:
rotation/skewing: setSkew
translation: setTextRise

When using direct content, you should also use
document.newPage();
to go to the next page.
