Hello... I am currently using v1.1.3 on Appian 22.2. We noticed that whenever we check PDFs with getnumberofpages(), the files are not deleted off of our server. The documents are deleted from Appian Designer, but they remain on the server itself. They are locked by Java and cannot be deleted. Is it possible to include some garbage collection in the code so documents are not held up by Java whenever this function gets used?
