Those methods are deprecated in 1.8 and have been removed in 2.0. I’d recommend
following
the advice in the JavaDoc for those methods:
@deprecated Use {@link #moveTo} and {@link #lineTo} methods instead.
It’s trivial to call those methods for each point in an array. Note that there
is no such thing as a
line or a polygon in PDF which is why those methods were remove. There are only
paths.
