iTextPDF库JAVA-导入com.itextpdf无法解析

Question

I'm creating a simple program in JAVA where there is a button that creates a PDF when clicked. I'm using iText JAVA library for generating the PDF. I've included iText .jar file in "Java build path" but when I try to import classes of the library i get this error: The import com.itextpdf.cannot be resolved.

For example:

import com.itextpdf.text.BaseColor; // The import com.itextpdf.text.BaseColor cannot be resolved
import com.itextpdf.text.Document; // The import com.itextpdf.text.Document cannot be resolved
import com.itextpdf ... // and so on

Answer 1

Try to follow these steps:

• Clean Your Eclipse Project: Go to Project > Clean in Eclipse (in menu above).
• Refresh your project folder: (right click on your project > refresh).
• Re-build your project.

And now you can select all JARs in that folder:( right click on project folder -> Build Path -> Add External Archives).

Answer 2

It depends on whether you are using version 7 or 5 of iText. If you're using 7, the packages you will need to import change from com.itextpdf.* to com.itext.kernel.* , com.itext.layout.* etc.
