RE: Changing PdfPTable width from RPGLE using iText

I used iText for a short time WAYYYYY back when and I am by no means an
iText person but it looks like you can also set an absolute size for the
table.  I don't know if that would work any better.

What you have done looks correct but ...

The documentation I've found online states that the 'setWidthPercentage'
