NoClassDefFoundError：将jasper导出到pdf时com / itextpdf / text / DocumentException

Question

I created a jasper report and now I need to export that report to pdf format. This is my code for that.

        // compiles jrxml
        JasperCompileManager.compileReportToFile(reportName + ".jrxml");
        // fills compiled report with parameters and a connection
        JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(reportName + ".jasper", parameters, connection);

        // to view the report
        //JasperViewer.viewReport(print, false);

        // export repor to pdf
        JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(print, "fromXml.pdf");

When I view the report using JasperViewer , it works fine. But When I exporting the report into pdf format, it gives me the following exception.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/itextpdf/text/DocumentException

But I have put the iText jar into my libraries.

But one thing, I had another version of iText jar before. It gave me the same exception. I thought that there may be some issues with the version of it.(I followed a tutorial, so I added the same jar as they had used in the tutorial replacing the new jar I had used).

but still the problem remains. I thought this may be the issue now(the accepted answer of the question). But I do not know how to fix it. I removed the entire library and added it again with iText jar which had been used by the tutorial. But I had no luck.

Could you please help me to overcome this issue. Thank you!

You need to upgrade your iText-2.1.7.jar file to latest version as earlier the package that was used by jar is com.lowagie...

See the change list here which says it has changed the package name.
