Does Spring MVC 3.1 need a specific iText jar version to run? When I extend the AbstractPdfView class, I am getting an error on eclipse like “PdfWriter is missing..required in .class file”.. I am using itext 5.1.2 version.. If I change iText version to 2.7 then that error goes away.. I want to use newer versions of iText because there are lots of new features added.. is there any workaround to this or am I completely wrong in assuming that this is a version related issue?
Yep…the class that comes with the Spring framework for handling PDF generation (AbstractPdfView) is stuck against an older version of iText (and their classes)
Here is an question regarding it:
Spring pdf generation
Which if you read through the responses points you to a Spring Forum thread that provides a great solution:

Basically you can create your own AbstractPdfView that uses the newest version of iText API (and classes)
