  • When we are trying to generate a dynamic docx from the template, the spell check isn't working
    Has anyone experienced this or knows how to overcome this?

  • We're getting access denied error when running the smart service docx to pdf eventhough pm is made to run as service account? . Any pointers

  • Is it still possible to access the "how to design a report" documentation anywhere? I tried the link in the ADT guide.pdf file and the page no longer exists 

  • v1.0.12 Release Notes
    • Bug Fixes:

  • We are facing the same issue as mentioned below. When we have lists, the text appears fine in document, but when the doc is converted to PDF, the same text is superimposed

  • Hi, did you find any solution for above use case ?

  • Apart from the existing bad pdf rendering issue, we have noticed a new issue with latest version (1.0.11) of this plugin where embedding images in word document doesn't work and results into the following error: 

    We have made sure that we follow the correct syntax for embedding images in docx as described in the documentation of this plugin. Everything works well with the plugin version 1.0.10 but we cant revert to that version in productions.

    Any insight/alternative on this would be helpful
