[iText-questions] Why are the results of" Image.getInstance(URL uRL)" and "Image.getInstance(Image image, Color color)" different ?

Paulo,   It is not impossible. The following is my code. I have added a comment "//*** Problem Area ***//" where I used both ways to get the results I have mentioned in my previous posting. What is the cause of this outcome?   public static synchronized ByteArrayOutputStream getPDF(File file,     String[] header,     String[] tableheader,     String[][] tablecontent,     Vector visibleRatioNames,     String[] groupStrings,     Vector graphs) throws     DocumentException, FileNotFoundException, IOException   {   Font fontGreyHevNormal_11 =  FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA_BOLD, 11, Font.NORMAL,Color.gray);   Font fontBlackHevNormal_9 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 9, Font.NORMAL);   Font fontRatioHevNorm_7 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 7, Font.NORMAL);   Font fontHevNorm_10 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA_BOLD, 10, Font.NORMAL);   Font fontHevNorm_8= FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA_BOLD, 8, Font.NORMAL);   FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 9, Font.NORMAL);   Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 70, 70, 70, 70);   ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();   PdfWriter docWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, bos);   doc.open();   // Add the document header.   Table table1 = new Table(1, 1);   table1.setWidth(100);   table1.setBorderColor(new Color(0, 0, 0));   table1.setSpaceInsideCell(2);   Chunk headerchunk = new Chunk(header[0], fontGreyHevNormal_11);   Cell headerCell = new Cell(headerchunk);   headerCell.setVerticalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_CENTER);   table1.addCell(headerCell);   doc.add(table1);   // Sub headings   Chunk subheading1 = new Chunk(header[1], fontBlackHevNormal_9);   Chunk subheading2 = new Chunk(header[2], fontBlackHevNormal_9);   Chunk subheading3 = new Chunk(header[3], fontBlackHevNormal_9);

  contentTable.setPadding(2);   for (int i = 0; i < tableheader.length; i++) {     Chunk tableheading = new Chunk(tableheader[i], fontRatioHevNorm_7);     Cell c = new Cell(tableheading);     c.setVerticalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_MIDDLE);     c.setBorderColor(Color.gray);     contentTable.addCell(c, new Point(0, 2 + i));   }   for (int i = 1; i < tablecontent.length; i++) {     String[] str = tablecontent[i - 1];     for (int j = 0; j < str.length - 1; j++) {       if (j == 0 && str[str.length - 1].equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {         fontRatioHevNorm_7.setColor(new Color(255, 153, 51));       }       else {         fontRatioHevNorm_7.setColor(Color.black);
