You need the Apache Commons Logging library on your classpath.

Chances are that you're missing all the dependencies of PDFBox:

Minimum Requirement for PDFBox

  • Java 1.5
  • commons-logging

Add commons-logging.jar file to your project classpath. that will fix the issue.

I had the same problem and I have tried all of the solutions on the web, I had all of the required JAR files in my CLASSPATH ... but it didn't work. then I decided to move my JAR files from my DROPBOX folder to a normal folder and it worked!

So if your JARs are on dropbox or anything like that, move them to a normal folder and add them to your classpath! it will solve the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exception.

You need to ensure that the apache library is on your class path at runtime.
