Hi folk!

My email is about this code:

#1 .open document

open();

try{

                        PdfWriter.getInstance(doc,new FileOutputStream(nombreFichero));

                        addMetadata();

                        doc.open();

            }catch(DocumentException dex)

            {

                                   dex.printStackTrace();

            }

            catch(FileNotFoundException fnfex)

            {

                                   fnfex.printStackTrace();

            }

#2. add meta data information

addmetadata(); //metadata is a hashtable object which contains values to add metadata information it.

            if(metadata.containsKey("title"))

                        {

                                   doc.addTitle((String)metadata.get("title"));

                        }

                        if(metadata.containsKey("subject"))

                        {                                 

                                   doc.addSubject((String)metadata.get("subject"));

                        }

                        if(metadata.containsKey("keywords"))

                        {                      

                                   doc.addKeywords((String)metadata.get("keywords"));

                        }

                        if(metadata.containsKey("creator"))

                        {                      

                                   doc.addCreator((String)metadata.get("creator"));

                        }

                        if(metadata.containsKey("author"))

                        {                                 

                                   doc.addAuthor((String)metadata.get("author"));

                        }

#3. open doc object

Doc.open();

..then…

Why does occur this one?

Exception in thread "main" ExceptionConverter: com.lowagie.text.DocumentException: The document is open; you can only add Elements with content.

Thanks to help me!

Kind regards,

Abelardo.
