You can put each of your tables in an iTextSharp.text.Paragraph and use the Paragraph object's SpacingAfter property to create your gap. Sample code:

C#

private static void DemoTableSpacing() { 
    using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("SpacingTest.pdf", FileMode.Create)) { 
 
        Document doc = new Document(); 
        PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs); 
        doc.Open(); 
 
        Paragraph paragraphTable1 = new Paragraph(); 
        paragraphTable1.SpacingAfter = 15f; 
 
        PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3); 
        PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("This is table 1")); 
        cell.Colspan = 3; 
        cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1; 
        table.AddCell(cell); 
        table.AddCell("Col 1 Row 1"); 
        table.AddCell("Col 2 Row 1"); 
        table.AddCell("Col 3 Row 1"); 
        //table.AddCell("Col 1 Row 2"); 
        //table.AddCell("Col 2 Row 2"); 
        //table.AddCell("Col 3 Row 2"); 
        paragraphTable1.Add(table); 
        doc.Add(paragraphTable1); 
 
        Paragraph paragraphTable2 = new Paragraph(); 
        paragraphTable2.SpacingAfter = 10f; 
 
        table = new PdfPTable(3); 
        cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("This is table 2")); 
        cell.Colspan = 3; 
        cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1; 
        table.AddCell(cell); 
        table.AddCell("Col 1 Row 1"); 
        table.AddCell("Col 2 Row 1"); 
        table.AddCell("Col 3 Row 1"); 
        table.AddCell("Col 1 Row 2"); 
        table.AddCell("Col 2 Row 2"); 
        table.AddCell("Col 3 Row 2"); 
        paragraphTable2.Add(table); 
        doc.Add(paragraphTable2); 
        doc.Close(); 
    } 
}
