Image auto resizes in PdfPCell with iTextSharp

Question

I\'m having a weird problem with images in iTextSharp library. I\'m adding the image to the PdfPCell and for some reason it gets scaled up. How do i keep it to original size?

So if you have to mantain the size of the image in the PdfPCell you can loock at this code :

                iTextSharp.text.Image image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(imageFilePath);

                 // Save the image width
                float width = image.Width;
                PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
                cell.AddElement(image);


                // Now find the Image element in the cell and resize it
                foreach (IElement element in cell.CompositeElements)
                {
                    // The inserted image is stored in a PdfPTable, so when you find 
                    // the table element just set the table width with the image width, and lock it.
                    PdfPTable tblImg = element as PdfPTable;
                    if (tblImg != null)
                    {
                        tblImg.TotalWidth = width;
                        tblImg.LockedWidth = true;
                    }
                }
