    copied!<p>I hava got a strange conundrum. I am currently trying to make a Runnable Jar of an Eclipse project I'm working on that has a number of JTextField's and JFormattedTextField's all nicely arranged in JPanel's. I am then taking these JPanel's and printing them out use iText's nice PdfWriter.</p> <p>The issue is this: In Eclipse, this prints out just fine. When I export my project into a runnable jar, I get the following:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pAkqu.jpg" alt="My problem"></p> <p>All of those black rectangles are where my JTextField's and JFormattedTextField's are located.</p> <p>Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? This is how I am printing things out, and remember, it is working in Eclipse but not when exported as runnable jar:</p> <pre><code>private void print() throws DocumentException, IOException { Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER, 0, 0, 0, 0); File file = new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + File.separator + "Desktop" + File.separator + "temp.pdf"); if (!file.exists()) { file.createNewFile(); } PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(file)); document.open(); PdfContentByte contentByte = writer.getDirectContent(); int x = (int) document.getPageSize().getWidth() / 2 - 250; int y = (int) document.getPageSize().getHeight() - 375; for (int i = 0; i &lt; jobs.size(); i++) { jobs.get(i).setFocusable(false); contentByte.moveTo(0, y + 235); contentByte.lineTo(document.getPageSize().getWidth(), y + 235); contentByte.closePathStroke(); y += 5; PdfTemplate template = contentByte.createTemplate(600, 250); @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") Graphics2D g2 = template.createGraphics(600, 250); jobs.get(i).print(g2); g2.dispose(); contentByte.addTemplate(template, x, y); y -= 105; jobs.get(i).setFocusable(true); } contentByte.moveTo(0, y + 235); contentByte.lineTo(document.getPageSize().getWidth(), y + 235); contentByte.closePathStroke(); y = 25; PdfTemplate template = contentByte.createTemplate(600, 25); @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") Graphics2D g2 = template.createGraphics(600, 25); total.setFocusable(false); totalPanel.setOpaque(false); totalPanel.print(g2); g2.dispose(); contentByte.addTemplate(template, x - 65, y); total.setFocusable(true); totalPanel.setOpaque(true); document.close(); } </code></pre> <p>Thanks for all of your help!</p>
