What are image types supported by iText?
The standard types: BMP, EPS, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and WMF.
Raw images: define components, bpc, and start writing bytes
Also CCITT (fax) and java.awt.Image.
See chapter 5 for the complete overview.
By combining Apache Batik with iText, you can also convert SVG to PDF (see example in chapter 12)

And is it possible to rotate image while adding it to PDF document?
Of course. There are different ways to do this.
You can even clip the image, so that it's no longer rectangular.
There's an example in the book on how to clip an image in the form of a circle and a star.
