[itext]PdfReader failing on WAS8

Question

all. I am attempting to use iText to get the page count of a PDF file. The code is running from a web service on WAS8.

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(fileName);
int pageCount = reader.getNumberOfPages();

Very basic. The problem is, as soon as I hit the PdfReader line, it blows up. I get a "Source not found" error and the title bar on the tab says "JavaBeanDispatcher(JavaDispatcher).invokeTargetOperation(Method, Object[]) line: 106".

I imagine this is more of a Java setup issue than an iText issue, but I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

I actually figured it out. I was originally including the iText jar file in the project build path. I changed it to include the jar file in the manifest.mf file instead and it worked.
