itextsharp help required!

[mendhak]

I'm guessing it's something to do with this

filename As String

If the filename consists of the path here, and the path is the windows documents and folders path, then look at the usernames involved. Any unusual characters that don't belong in a name such as an apostrophe? Or any other strange characters?

[nextivity]

Static path, same for all users. Doesn't work on TWO computers.

Plus, I changed the ctor used and compiled the blank PDF into my app instead of locating it on the file system. Still same error, slightly different stack trace:
