Answer 1

You can add a border to a paragraph or a table.

With respect to your sample, you could add a bottom border to paragraph 2 or add a top border to paragraph 3 or add a new paragraph between them and set either top or bottom border.

from this repo

        var hr = doc.AddStyle("HorizontalRule", "Normal");
        var hrBorder = new Border();
        hrBorder.Width = "1pt";
        hrBorder.Color = Colors.DarkGray;
        hr.ParagraphFormat.Borders.Bottom = hrBorder;
        hr.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 0;
        hr.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore = 15;

I also had to add a line myParagraph.Format = hr.ParagraphFormat.Clone(); – Whistler

You should edit your answer to include Hoppe's suggestion as the code snippet you posted doesn't do anything to the paragraph and his code is necessary to make it work. I would edit it, but any time I edit something it gets reverted anyway. – Executrix

Late to the game, but here is an example of appending to the existing paragraph format, instead of overwriting as in the answer above, preserving already defined formats:

Paragraph p = new Paragraph();

p.Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
//...any other formats needed
p.Format.Borders.Bottom = new Border() { Width = "1pt", Color = Colors.DarkGray };
