This problem has been choking me for quite some time now precisely more than a month now.i tried developing a small Javafx application and I used ITEXT 5.3 version and everything works just fine where i used icepdf for displaying the generated PDF in netbean.perfectly works fine in netbeans .But once I tried running the executable jar program outside netbean it does not generate the PDF.i tried packaging it using advanced installer and the pdf did not generate too.I tried some solutions with this pdf not generated by itext library from java application but it didn't help. Every assistance would be truly appreciated Here is my source code for the PDF generation:
@FXML
private void generatereportforresistance(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
XYSeries powerSeries = new XYSeries("Power_Speed relation");
for (double i=0;i<getValue(13);i=i+0.01){
double p=getPower(i)*0.51444;
powerSeries.add(i, p);
}
XYDataset xyDataset = new XYSeriesCollection(powerSeries);
JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createXYLineChart(
"Effective Power V.S Speed", "Speed[knots]", "Power[KW]", xyDataset,
PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, true, true, true);
//Render the frame
ChartFrame chartFrame = new ChartFrame("Power V.S speed Charts", chart);
chartFrame.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("app_icon.png"));
//chartFrame.setVisible(true);
//chartFrame.setSize(800, 800);

Well, i know it's an older question but for those who struggle with this problem. Execute your jar file on the therminal with the command java -jar YouJarFile.jar and look what the problem is. For me the problem was that i saved the file on an relativ path. When i changed the location to an absolute path the problem for me was solved.
