I am converting pdf from html which also includes css using ITextRenderer,

    ClassLoader classLoader = DigiFaxInvoice.class.getClassLoader();
          URL url = classLoader.getResource("html file path");
            String urlString = new File(url.getFile()).toURI().toURL().toString();
            String HTML_TO_PDF = "pdf file path";
            OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(HTML_TO_PDF);       
            ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
            renderer.setDocument(urlString);      
            renderer.layout();
            renderer.createPDF(os);        
            os.close();

I got following error,

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: org.xhtmlrenderer.render.BlockBox cannot be cast to org.xhtmlrenderer.newtable.TableBox

Can you please explain why I am getting this error and how to fix it?
