Overview
This plugins allows to generate DOCX files from a DOCX template and an XML data model from Appian. It also allows to convert a DOCX into PDF through an opensource (with limited capabilities) library.
Key Features & Functionality
Hi all, in the description it is stated that the ADT plug-in contains both 'DOCX From Template' and 'PDF Document From DOCX' smart services. Can anyone confirm that 'PDF Document From DOCX' is actually included in the installation as I cannot seem to find the smart service in the process modeler in Appian. Thank you.
Hi Daniel, thanks for your response. Part of the confusion in our case was that we also use the Dynamic Document Generator plug-in which also lists a PDF from docx as smart service. We get headers and footers using 'PDF from DOCX' but not when we use it on a merged word file after using 'DOCX merge' from Dynamic Document Generator'.
We have it installed and it shows in the smart service within the Process Modeler. However, when we are trying to convert a DOCX to PDF using the smart service we are currently unable to get the DOCX header and footer to appear in the PDF. Also, it looks like the documentation does not address the PDF from DOCX.
