Hi,
the class you are using was introduced in iText Version 2.1.4 and the
method where the problem occurs (computeAverageWidth()) was added in iText
Version 2.1.5. Thus i am quite certain that you are iText version 2.1.5 :-)
You may ask why?
The problem is that in that version also a bug has been introduced - the
last line of the method is:
private int computeAverageWidth(){
...
return total/count;
}
One version later in 2.1.6 that bug was fixed with the following code:
private int computeAverageWidth(){
...
return count != 0 ? total/count : 0;
}
Thus if you upgrade your version you won't experience that problem anymore
...
Regards,
ToM
