java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.lowagie.text.Phrase.add(Lcom/lowagie/text/Element;)Z

Hi

I wrote this little java program that takes a jasper report, fills it and displays it in the jasper viewer. It works just fine but when I press on the "Save" icon in the viewer and try to save a pdf version of the report I get the error below and a blank pdf file is saved.

I am using the following libraries (among others). Any hints to what is going here is greatly appreciated.

itext-2.1.7.js4.jar
jasperreports-6.21.2.jar
jasperreports-fonts-6.21.2.jar
openpdf-1.3.26.jar
pdfbox-1.8.8.jar

JasperReports 6.21.2 depends on OpenPDF 1.3.32.

Remove the itext jar from your application (as it contains the same packages/classes as OpenPDF) and upgrade the openpdf jar to 1.3.32.
