    You are missing itext.jar in project’s build path. This jar can be downloaded from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itext

    Since you are getting NoClassDefFoundError and not ClassNotFoundException, it means the JAR is there in your classpath but classloader is not able to load this class. May be due to version mismatch. Like you are using JDK1.4 and trying to use a class complied in JDK1.5 or above version. Link might help:

    Hi Gautam,
    I am also getting the same exception-“NoClassDefFoundError: com/lowagie/text/DocumentException”
    I added iText jars. I am using JDK 1.6. Can you please solve my problem.

    Thanks,
    Shihad
