This version is for Appian 23.2 and above. Cloud customers on a lower version of Appian that want to install this plugin should open a support case. Self-managed customers can find the latest jar for Appian 23.1 and lower version in the folder pre-23.2

Convert, merge and generate DOCX, PDF and XML files automatically in an Appian process

Key Features & Functionality

PDF from DOCX without Fonts
- Convert multiple DOCX files into a single PDF. Please note that the translation from DOCX to PDF is not always 1:1. The template may need to be tweaked or simplified to achieve the desired results. This will not support fonts.
PDF from XSL-FO Transformation
- Uses XSLT to convert an XML to XSL-FO which is then converted to PDF
PDF from HTML

PDF from HTML Transformation

Hi all -

Our team uses the DOCX Merge and saves the final document to send out in an email (Send E-mail smart service) as an attachment. Some emails are not sending while some are. For both instances, there is no forced exception/error stopping the process models, and they go through the DOCX merge and process model that sends out the email fine. PauseOnError is set to True. For reports that are not sending, the merged file saves successfully into the folder as set in the SaveInFolder input, and there is no error message from the ErrorText output, however, the final document that should be saved into the NewDocumentCreated output is not saving. I assume this is why the email is not sending as well - but I am not sure about this, I am still researching.

What are the exceptions that the error messages should catch? I am not sure how to solve this problem because there is no error message that presents. I am able to download and view the attachments that should send from the Folder.
