Answer 1

You have to use Android version of iTextPDF .

Download "itextg-5.4.3.jar"

Answer 2

For UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

app gradle:

defaultConfig {
              multiDexEnabled true
              }

outer tag:

afterEvaluate {
    tasks.matching {
        it.name.startsWith('dex')
    }.each { dx ->
        if (dx.additionalParameters == null) {
            dx.additionalParameters = ['--multi-dex']
        } else {
            dx.additionalParameters += '--multi-dex'
        }
    }
}

If still error then you can increase heap size.

 android.dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
        preDexLibraries false
    }
