That error is almost impossible to happen. The constructor is:
public RandomAccessFileOrArray(String filename) throws IOException {
File file = new File(filename);
if (!file.canRead()) {
InputStream is = BaseFont.getResourceStream(filename);
if (is == null)
throw new IOException(filename + " not found as file or
resource.");
// read form the resource here ...
}
this.filename = filename;
rf = new RandomAccessFile(filename, "r");
}
What happened in your case was that the file was found and could be read but
the actal opening of the file failed. In other words File.canRead() lied.
Other possibility is that you are using an old iText version.
