Key Features & Functionality
Hi,
is it possible some kind of conditional logic ?For example I want to add a section inside a if- else construct.My use case is to generate this section by evaluating a boolean value in the xml.Thanks in advance.
Adding the <![CDATA[<html> tagI get that the plugin does not give an error. But word does not interpret the html correctly.
Is it possible to include html content within the xml data model?
with the following xml:<project> <informacionCentroTrabajo> <centroTrabajo> <p> <strong>BASE SIC SANTANDER</strong> </p> <ul> <li> <p>(ESTACIÓN DE SANTANDER AM)</p> </li> </ul> </centroTrabajo> <ubicacion>Calle Canalejas 2</ubicacion> <provincia>Alicante</provincia> </informacionCentroTrabajo></project>
I get the following error:
"Only elements with no child elements can be processed as text. This element with name "centroTrabajo" has a child element named: p "
I have a question about the function of converting DOCX templates to PDF documents(PDF from Single DOCX).I would like to place an image behind the text and output it as a PDF document.Currently, even if I set the image to be behind the text in the DOCX template, it does not apply correctly when converting to a PDF document.Is there a way to place an image behind the text and convert it to a PDF document?
For those who are experiencing alignment issues (or other display issues) since the upgrade to Appian > 24.2 & v1.1.2 of this plugin, we have raised the issue with Appian and the developer is working on a fix. We have been advised to monitor this page for updates
I believe there was a significant jump in Java versions (9->17) between Appian 24.1 and 24.2. From what I can tell v1.0.7 of the app will stop working. Upgrading the plugin should help it work but we have encountered issues with our docx templates displaying misaligned text once converted to pdf. Did you manage to resolve you issue?
Following on from Marcello's comment. We have experienced the same thing; updated the plugin to 1.1.2 and now our PDFs are unreadable
Hello everyone,
We have updated the advancedDocumentTemplating plugin from version 1.0.6 to version 1.1.2, using both available features DOCX Document From Template and PDF Document From DOCX.
We tested the new version with the same templates and the same XML, and the results are as follows: 1. The DOCX document generated by the new version is identical to the one generated by version 1.0.6.; 2: The generated PDF is unreadable (overlapping lines, images inserted in different positions).
Has anyone in the community encountered the same problem and found a solution?
