NoSuchMethodError: ...Document.setGlyphSubstitutionEnabled

[Sab3rRid3r]

Hi, with the change to jasperreports:6.20.1 and openpdf:1.3.30 instead of itext:2.1.7 we hat no problems so far.
Today we tried jasperreports:6.20.3 an got the following Exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void com.lowagie.text.Document.setGlyphSubstitutionEnabled(boolean)'
at net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.classic.ClassicPdfProducer.createDocument(ClassicPdfProducer.java:128)
at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.JRPdfExporter.exportReportToStream(JRPdfExporter.java:835)
at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.JRPdfExporter.exportReport(JRPdfExporter.java:685)
at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager.exportToPdfStream(JasperExportManager.java:196)
at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(JasperExportManager.java:533)

We use springboot 2.7.10 with Java 17 and XML as Datasource.
Thanks in advance
Andreas

You need to add this repository to your pom.xml files:
https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/blob/master/jasperreports/pom-parent.xml#L100
and make use of this custom version of OpenPDF, at least until our contributions gets accepted into their official release:
https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/blob/master/jasperreports/pom.xml#L68

I hope this helps.

LibrePDF/OpenPDF#904

The release 6.20.4 was published to put back mandatory OpenPDF dependency in pom.xml.

With jasperreports:6.20.4 & openpdf:1.3.30 I still get the same NoSuchMethodError Exception. Plz reopen.

Is there any particular reason for which you insist on using OpenPDF 1.3.30 instead the one I mentioned you in my first reply above?
If you do not want to change the version of OpenPDF, as recommended, why would you change the version of JasperReports then?

[Sab3rRid3r]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that we can't use the 1.3.30.jaspersoft.2 because the buildprocess of our application gets the dependencies from mvnrepository: com.github.librepdfhttps://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.librepdf/openpdf and 1.3.30 is the latest official version.
I thought with jasperreports:6.20.4 the access to Document.setGlyphSubstitutionEnabled is removed, which I guess I was wrong about. So it would be interesting to know at which version jasper starts working again with official published dependencies.
The reason for updating jasper is because the renovate bot found the new version and we try to stay up to data and find bugs as early as possible.

The upcoming JasperReports release (6.20.5) will work with the standard/unpatched OpenPDF 1.3.30.

Note that if you also have Apache FOP on your application's classpath you'll have to explicitly set the net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.classic.fop.glyph.substitution.enabled property to true, disabling FOP based glyph substitution requires the patched OpenPDF version.

Once LibrePDF/OpenPDF#765 and LibrePDF/OpenPDF#904 are accepted by OpenPDF we'll no longer need to patch OpenPDF.
