Key Features & Functionality
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.
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 , we are using this plug in and would like to have the plug in to be updated with latest version of freemarker. it would be great if you could let us know when this can be available. thank you.
Hi, we have used this plugin in our application. In light of the recent discovery of vulnerabilities with log4j2, we would like to know if this plugin uses the affected version Log4j2, and if yes, would you release an updated version of this plugin to counter the exploit of vulnerability?
Guys... Appian support has confirmed that the vulnerability applies only to log4J 2.x and since this plugin 1.x it shouldn't be an issue.
Hi arjunvs, Could please let me know how you have determined that plugin is using older version of log4J? Based on my understanding java files in this plugin jar have import command , so it imports from the server. as long as your server is patched it should refer to latest patched version of log4j. is that not the case?
I have a client using this plugin and would require this update as soon as possible.
Hi, It appears that the plugin uses an older version of Log4J - 1.2.17. Can you please release a version of the plugin with the log4J plugin upgraded to 2.15? This is to counter the exploit of vulnerability due to - CVE-2021-44228
Has anyone come across the following error while opening a .docx file generated via ADT (DOCX Document From Template):
Unspecified error
Location: Part: /word/footer4.xml, line:0, column: 0
This error is only introduced after the doc is generated using ADT. The template being used works fine when opened using word.
