import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import com.itextpdf.tool.xml.XMLWorkerHelper;
public class HtmlToPDF2 {

      public static void main(String[] args ) {
            try {
              Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
              PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance
                   (document, new FileOutputStream("C:/Users/Jason/Desktop/testpdf.pdf"));
              document.open();
              document.addAuthor("Real Gagnon");
              document.addCreator("Real's HowTo");
              document.addSubject("Thanks for your support");
              document.addCreationDate();
              document.addTitle("Please read this");

              XMLWorkerHelper worker = XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance();

              String str = "<html><head></head><body>"+

                "in personal hardware and software costs to set up test environments, and above all," +

              worker.parseXHtml(pdfWriter, document, new StringReader(str));
              document.close();
              System.out.println("Done.");
              }
            catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
            }
          }

}

This is a sample code that I found online.When I try executing it I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.itextpdf.text.Paragraph.trim()Z
