That method is part of the core itextpdf library since at least version 5.1.1. Do you probably have another, older itextpdf library on your classpath? — mkl

Your edit looks like you use a fairly current xmlworker with an ancient itextpdf. Please do check whether there is a second itextpdf jar on your classpath. It looks like such a second jar is found before your current one and, therefore, is used. — mkl

@mkl i have added the XMLWorker with same version as iText Pdf, please check my edits, but still getting same exception — user2582360

Are you sure your web application environment does not force an older itext version on you? E.g. using some endorsed libraries? You can try and test that by adding code right before your code running into that exception to create a simple PDF in the file system (e.g. using the method createPdf in HelloWorld.java). Inspecting the generated PDF file you can see the iText version which created the file. — mkl

@mkl solved, as you said it was loading ancient xmlworker, working fine after i clear the project. thank you so much, your comments helped me alot — user2582360

you have to also put following jar files in your lib.

itext-pdfa
itext-xtra

as per appropriate version. try to put whole required code.

Look into stack trance it may be refer to that class line where error was occur.

Maybe, but the class and the "missing" method are in the core iText jar: sourceforge.net/p/itext/code/HEAD/tree/tags/iText_5_4_5/itext/…

user2582360 Over a year ago

I have added the jar files, but still i'm getting the same error, I have edited my question, please take a look.
