Two possibilities:
1. You are using an quite old version of iText and maybe that was a bug
fixed a long time ago?
2. Your PDF is not (fully) PDF spec compliant
(3. possible but not probable: iText has a bug and your PDF is running into
it)
Opening a PDF in Adobe Reader doesn't say anything except it may be some
sort of PDF file you are trying to open. Adobe Reader is like IE back in
the days - opening any crap HTML page guessing their authors intent. You
can now try the following three things:
1. provide the PDF and we can tell you more. If it is a customer PDF and
you are not able to share then
2. try a newer version of iText (2.1.7 for less changes in your code and/or
5.4.4 the most up-to-date version) and see whether the problem still exists
3. Do you have an Adobe Acrobat at hand? If so run Preflight (Check PDF
Syntax Errors and PDF/A-1b compatibility. Even if your PDF may not be a
PDF/A document this test is in many cases better to detect general PDF spec
problems then the syntax check)
