Found the following on geekcredential dot wordpress dot com

Groovy thinks '/0' is a GString so need to be explicit and force it to
character

i.e.   '/0'.toCharacter().charValue()

Thanks, I decided to rewrite the second edition from scratch,
based on my experience teaching iText. The organization of the
first book wasn't ideal to explain how iText works in a classroom.

/0 is the null byte.
Maybe Groovy doesn't like that.

It's the version number of the new PDF file that will be created
by PdfStamper. For instance, if you pass '7', the PDF header will
be PDF-1.7.

Passing '\0' is equivalent to saying:

new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(dest), 
reader.getPdfVersion(), true);

So if Groovy doesn't like '\0', you can replace it with
reader.getPdfVersion().
