defaultConfig {
        ...
        jackOptions {
            enabled true
        }
    }

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

"itextpdf" below compile dependency added-

compile 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.9'

Error:

java.lang.VerifyError: Rejecting class com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfName because it failed compile-time verification (declaration of 'com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfName'
