Problem with PDFBox-0.7.3 library - Runtime Error

Question

Hello,
The problem is inside the method "chamaConversor".
" conversor.pdfToText(arquivoPdf,arquivoTxt);" make a file.txt from one file.pdf. After that it don?t return the control to "ConstrutorDeTemplate2.java", and show the following error message:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-O" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : org/fontbox/afm/FontMetric
at org.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.getAFM (PDFont.java:334)
I am using the NetBeans IDE 5.5.
I have added all of these libraries below to my project from c:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5\PDFBox-0.7.3\external:
* FontBox-0.1.0-dev.jar
* ant.jar
* bcmail-jdk14-132.jar
* junit.jar
* bcprov-jdk14-132.jar
* lucene-core-2.0.0.jar
* checkstyle-all-4.2.jar
* lucene-demos-2.0.0.jar
and PDFBox-0.7.3.jar from c:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5\PDFBox-0.7.3\lib.
There are no more jar from PDFBox-0.7.3 directory.
All of these libraries are in "Compile-time Libraries" option in Project Properties. Should I add they to "Run-time Libraries" option?
What is going on?
Thank you!

All of these libraries are in "Compile-time
Libraries" option in Project Properties. Should I add
they to "Run-time Libraries" option?Yes
