Convert DocX to PDF (Aspose)

Overview

This plugin contains a smart service to convert .docx documents to PDF using Aspose Libraries with support for custom fonts and optionally encrypt the final PDF document. It will also maintain the PDF structure for 508 compliance as well as compress the file to maintain a low file size. An Aspose JAVA Words license is required and must be provided to the smart service in order for it to work accordingly.

  • We are having issues with converting word document to Pdf.

    We have downloaded the plugin from AppMarket. However, it is asking a bunch of fields to configure.

    Where can I find this information.

    Though it says free, I believe to configure the smart service in Appian, we might need to have a license.

    Any thoughts please....

  • For some reason I had issues changing the target folder, I couldn't tell if it was security or something but I moved the "Aspose Results" folder into my knowledge center and it worked.

    So I guess the results folder being pointed to by the constant must specifically be named "Aspose Results"?

  • This plugin has much better conversion from DOCX to PDF than Dynamic Document Generation and Advanced Document Templating.

    It is able to hold the formatting almost 1 to 1 from the DOCX template, which I needed because I had to have a watermark on the PDF and none of the other plugins seemed to be able to do it without formatting issues of some kind. The PDF Watermark plugin didn't work since just puts the watermark not in the center and has no settings.

    To try the plugin without actually buying the license, you must go to https://purchase.aspose.com/, add only Aspose.Words for Java to to the cart, fill the contact info and hit "get temporary license" on the Contact Info screen.

    The license will be attached to the email they send you, which you will need to swap into the constant that is fed into the node.

  • Hi !!

    Converting Word to PDF and having Issue with Encoding Korean

    I generated word document by using "DOCX From Dynamic Template" smart service.

    And got result like below.

    --> after using "convert DocX To PDF" smart service and converting word to PDF file

    Encoding error occurred and can't see Korean.

     

    How can I see Korean?

  • Hello, 

    I'm getting an error in the smart service that I think is related to the License: 

    "Signature length not correct: got 256 but was expecting 128" 

    I'm got a temporary license for Aspose.Words for Java and added the file into the Appian environment and am passing the document id into the smart service via the LicenseFiledId input. Have I configured the smart node incorrectly or procured the incorrect license? 

    Thanks

  • Hello Ashwin - you have to first buy Aspose license and then pass the key in this smart service.

  • Hello All,

    How can we configure the smart service?

    does anyone have any idea?
