java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.pdfbox.exceptions.COSVisitorException

My project were working quite fine before I had to reinstall my operating system, now it gives me this huge exception:

I have used Eclipse before, and then IntelliJ, but got the same problem... I am using Java 8 and Apache tomcat 7.0.73. There was a time it started correctly, but I was not able to access it in the browser the same way that I used before facing this problem (actually I wasn't able to access anyway).

I realized that the error was actually duo a class which were not being found (that was the reason I was receiving an NoClassDefFoundError), so I updated my pdfbox maven dependency to version 2.0.7. Doing this I still got the same error, then I just found out where the unmet classes were, and IntelliJ by itself suggested the right classes, I think that I needed to do it maybe because it has changed after an update or I don't know how it got to this point. I believe that somehow, Eclipse used to run it in a way that it could run even with compiler errors, but IntelliJ required me to fix such errors.

Usually NoClassDefFoundError tells you that you didn't include jar file with necessary class. In your case this is COSVisitorException. Here you have two options.

Add maven dependency to your project:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
   <artifactId>pdfbox</artifactId>
   <version><!--specify version which you are using --></version>
</dependency>

Or download your version of pdfbox-***.jar from maven repository and add to you %TOMCAT_HOME%/lib directory
