I also imported itextpdf-5.1.0.jar to <classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/itextpdf-5.1.0.jar"/> but still same (after copying jar, did not do anything more except putting to .classpath)

Why do i get error?

None of solutions work on the net. none of them are for hybris.

what can i do? i could not find a way to java class . i need to export as pdf of given string array list.

Answer 1

The step you have followed is perfect to import external lib .

I think you need to focus on itextpdf doc for your version. With the latest version(itextpdf-5.1.0.jar) com.lowagie is not there. You should use com.itextpdf instead of com.lowagie

This answer will help you to resolve your issue.

You can refer this blog .

Answer 2

By default, hybris includes all libraries found in your extensions lib folder. In your IDE you need to reference the libs by yourself. Maybe you confused the lib folder? Check that you put the lib in

\\hybris\\bin\\custom\\training\\trainingcore\\lib
