pdfbox Font TrueType cause stripper.getText() error

I have some pdf need to extract to text only one pdf is truetype and it cause following error :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.fontbox.ttf.TrueTypeFont.getAdvanceWidth(I)I

I check the api source code and still can't get through it. Is there something I can do? or the 2.0 version solve this problem.

It's not an big issue but some tiny mistake

Thanks to mkl and Tilman Hausherr

It's only buildpath problem.

First , I have muti versions of fontbox that I didn't aware of.

Just check it again and check it hard !

If others have same error, check the dependencies

pdfbox-1.x.x.jar
fontbox-1.x.x.jar

they need to be the same!
