Java: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.apache.fontbox.cmap.CMapParser.<init>(boolean)

I am trying to read a PDF document with Java. I am new to this and also new to configuring dependencies w/ intelliJ. The full error is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.apache.fontbox.cmap.CMapParser.<init>(boolean)'

My present code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File("src/dummy.pdf"));
    if(!document.isEncrypted()){
        PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
        String text = stripper.getText(document);
        System.out.println("Text:"+text);
    }
    document.close();
}

Here are the jars I have installed:

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Here is a link to the pdf I am trying to read. Note that it is in Japanese font:

Solution

  • Tilman Hausherr was correct. The difference in versions between PDFBox and Fontbox was the error.
