Java Jar, PDF and XML Problem

I using localhost, Win 10 and have Java 13.0.1 64 bit installed, and have both IIS and Wampserver (both have different listening ports.) installed.
I am trying to convert PDF to XML and found a great snippet of coding at the following url:

https://www.roseindia.net/tutorial/java/xml/pdftoXML.html

Open in new window

The problem I am having is the with the com.lowagie.text-2.1.7 jar file from the following url:

http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/c/Downloadcomlowagietext217jar.htm

Open in new window

It gives me the error - see below attached screenshot : no main manifest attribute in c:\wamp\www\PDFConvert\com.lowagie.text-2.1.7 jar
How can I fix this ?? I have also emailed the developer of the code to inquire as if I am using the right package and believe that I am because of
"lowagie" being part of the handlers.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated...

Thank you for responding. Before posting, I visited the very same site but thought I might have been mistaken about needing to use iText instead of lowagie. Apparently it isn't free so I emailed them for a quote.
I also emailed Roseindia concerning the coding but have not heard back yet.
Thank you for the information on "no manifest" too - I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
