Dynamic Document Generator

Overview

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 single DOCX with 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.
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
- Converts an HTML document into a single page PDF.
PDF from HTML Transformation
- Uses XSLT to convert an XML to HTML which is then converted to PDF
Text Doc from XSLT
- Uses XSLT to convert an XML to a plain text document (such as HTML, another XML doc, etc).
DOCX from XHTML With Styling
- Converts a valid XHTML file into a DOCX, allowing you to provide your own template file for style reference. Useful for creating dynamic documents that are editable
DOCX Merge
- Merges one or more DOCX files together. If a header or footer exists in any document, they will be removed during the merge process.
- A configurable separator can be specified: none, line break or page break

Function: xsltransform - Transform source XML using XSL Transform

Hi Michael,

I have been trying to use "PDF from EML" smart service and getting this error "An error occurred in executing an Activity Class." in Appian.

Here are logs from the server -
