Key Features & Functionality
Function: xsltransform - Transform source XML using XSL Transform
Did you pass in a constant to the "Font Documents" parameter that points to all OTF files that represent the font you are using in the Word document? For example, if the font you used is Source Sans Pro, you would need to download the OTF files from (https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/source-sans-pro), add the .otf files that you need into Appian as documents, and then create a constant of multiple document type that points to all these documents you added. When I didn't add this constant to the parameter, I faced the same issue you faced. After the constant, it worked without issues. Hope this helps!
I am using merge PDF with the seperator property as PAGE BREAK. And my document consists of tables. THis PAGE BREAK is not working for me. Any idea why this property is not working
We are experiencing an issue when using this plugin to generate DOCX where blank pages are being inserted after large amounts of text around grids. Is this the expected behavior for this plugin?
We are also experiencing this issue. It looks related to the newer versions of Word. We found that if we simply save an existing document that had no prior issues with the newer version of word (after version 2407) and then reupload that we get the issue.
It also seems like it only affects the first template being merged. If the first template being merged was saved with a newer version of word then the document will produce this error. If that newer template is not the first in the list and the first template was saved with the older version of word, then the final document will not be corrupted
Is there an example HTML document I can use to test the HTML to PDF?
I tried below but receive a null pointer exception (using version compatible for pre-23.2):
<html> <body> <table> <tr> <td>Val1</td> <td>Val2</td> <td>Val2</td> </tr> </table> </body></html>
I am also seeing this pop up and will not be able to leverage the plugin even though it appears to be doing what it should after I click through it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Appian Support Team,We are also getting same pop up while we generated documents by using DOCX Merge smart service.
Getting below error while trying to open downloaded document from Appian after merging with smart service DOCX Merge:
Error:
Word found unreadable content in "test 1.docx". Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes.DOCX Merge smart service is working correctly, before merge we are able to download and open the single generated word doc without pop up. After merge of documents we are able to download it but while opening getting the pop up error. Below is the screenshot for reference:
Please let us know if any fix available for this pop up issue. Let us know for more details. Regards,Sandeep
I had the same issue when I used the PDF from single DOCX with Fonts smart service where Japanese and Chinese characters would return hashtags. I ended up getting the characters to show by using the Microsoft Yahwei font in my docX template and including the MS Yahwei font file in the Fonts parameter. I don't have experience with the HTML to PDF smart service but you could consider switching to the PDF from single DOCX with Fonts smart service or there might be a way to configure fonts with the HTML to PDF within your html template
We have an issue converting Japanese characters using the module that converts HTML to PDF. All of the Japanese characters are converted to "####################################". I see that the same issue was reported by another user 2 months ago for the conversion from DOCX.
