As far as I can see your image is bigger than your page.

You're talking about the margin of the document, aren't you?

Correct, the image is too large for the document.

You forgot to mention the line:
Document document = new Document();
meaning you created an A4 page with margins of half an inch.
Such a page is 595 x 842 pts.
Your image is 636 x 877 pts.
You have a 36pt margin, so you miss
842 - 36 - 877 = -71
and
595 - 36 - 636 = -77
So you are losing almost an inch in height,
and over an inch in width.

The number of pixels is different, isn't it?

Er... what is the question?
(I'm sorry, but did you read any of the documentation?)
