Hi !
I don't know if this is normal, but I can tell you for sure that
setTotalWidth() will never be used to set absolute widths. If you look
at the code (v1.01, PdfDocument.add(Element) ), here is what's
happening when you finally add your table to the doc :
float totalWidth = (indentRight() - indentLeft()) *
ptable.getWidthPercentage() / 100;
(... blah blah blah ...)
ptable.setTotalWidth(totalWidth);
As you can see, the table's totalWidth is calculated from its width
percentage only, and doesn't care about the value you tried to set
before... Moreover, the setTotalWidth method calls the private
calculateWidths() method, which re-calculates the absolute widths.
Personally, I always call the setWidthPercentage() method, and I
calculate the widths that will fit perfectly in the table (i.e. if I
know my total width is 520, I'll call my setTotalWidth() method with
{200,150,170} ).

I'm having difficulties where I use PdfPTable.setTotalWidth(float[]) to
set the absolute width of all the cells in a table. I use this right
after I create my object before any cells are added. However it
doesn't apply the absolute width's to the cells, it simply sets the
table width to ~~550 pixels then sets all of the cells inside relative
to their values in teh float array, how can I get absolute widths on my
PdfPCell's ?
