I followed my own advice, added a table to the simple
code sample (see attachment), and was able to reproduce
the problem.
Using this small code sample, it was easy for me to fix
the problem. The solution is in the CVS (class PdfDocument).
More and more people are using iText, so more and more
functionality that was never used before (because it's rather
exotic) is now being put to the test.
In the last few weeks several bugs that have been present
in iText for ages, but remained unnoticed all that time,
were reported using similar small code samples.
As I have said before: these code samples are crucial in
the debugging process. If I can't reproduce a problem,
I can't fix it. Saying 'it doesn't work', or sending code
that can't be run as a standalone app, is of no use.
It only leads to confusion and frustrations on both sides.
Only well documented problems make a chance of being fixed.
