Problem printing PDF (Only caused when using the .jar file and not netbeans GUI)

[hanjel18]

Hi Guys.

Here is the thing. I have sample code on a java class (see it below), so I can perfectly create and display the PDF file on screen when I run the project from netbeans 6.9 ... however, when I create the .jar file for the project and try to execute it, then I get an Error message saying that an exception has happened (this is not handled, despite the existing try catch)... Could you please try it yourselve and/or help me out with this...

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.Date;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class GeneratingPDF_V2 {

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("C:\\GD\\Test.pdf"));

Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("Blabla"));
document.add(new Paragraph(new Date().toString()));

document.close();
file.close();

} catch (Exception e) {

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,e.getMessage()) ;
}
}

}//END OF GeneratingPDF_V2 --------------------------------------------------------------

As EJP says over there, what is the exception?
Full stack trace and identify the line in your code it occurs on.
