Actually my out put will be like this : My Test Data

PDF is not an html page so there are no <div>, <table> and so on.

Your target is completely unclear. A PDF cell is already act as a cell of a table. If you mean that the code above is to add a new table (<table> tag) into a PDF cell, then do not use html tags but PdfPTable and PdfPCell objects of itextsharp. Read http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/article/86/itextsharp-introducing-tables 

in other words, you could have something similar to

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
   
for (int j = 0; j < dtTitleNOrder.Rows.Count; j++)
{
	table.AddCell(dtTitleNOrder.Rows[j]["cc_displaytitleName"].ToString());
	PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("My Test Data", new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.BOLD, Color.WHITE)));
	table.AddCell(cell); 
}
   
doc.Add(table);

  StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();

 /*Set Chart Data*/
                    HtmlTextWriter htmlTextWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWriter);
                    var Maindiv = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("div");
                    var div = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("div");

 div.InnerHtml = Body + "</table><br/><br/>";
                    Maindiv.Controls.Add(div);
                    Maindiv.RenderControl(htmlTextWriter);




                    PdfPTable mainTable = new PdfPTable(1);

                  //  mainTable.WidthPercentage = 100;
                    mainTable.ExtendLastRow = true;
                    mainTable.HeaderRows = 2;
                    mainTable.FooterRows = 1;
                    mainTable.SkipLastFooter = true;
                    mainTable.SkipFirstHeader = true;
                    mainTable.SplitLate = false;
                    //Header Row
                    mainTable.DefaultCell.Border = 0;
                    mainTable.DefaultCell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED;
                    mainTable.AddCell(new Phrase(""));

  StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(stringWriter.ToString());
                    HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
                    pdfDoc.Open();
                    pdfDoc.Add(patientDetails);
