@Bhaskar - what version of the plugin do you currently have deployed? What version are you trying to update to?
James,
Do we have any solution for the deployment issue mentioned by Bhaskar
Hi James,
We are getting below error when we are trying to deploy it. Could you please help on this
06:31:12,337 INFO [stdout] (Appian Plugin Hot Deploy) 2018-09-10 06:31:12,337 [Appian Plugin Hot Deploy] ERROR com.appiancorp.plugins.LoggingPluginEventListener - Failed to enable Plug-in 'Dynamic Document Generator' (DynamicDocumentGen) version 1.5.1: 'There was a problem loading the module descriptor: TextDocFromXslt.<br/>com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.exceptions.AppianRuntimeException: com.appiancorp.process.admin.IncompatibleSmartServiceRegistrationException: The Smart Service Module was invalid: Illegal attempt to change the data type for smart service DynamicDocumentGen.TextDocFromXslt, input or output named XslParameters (APNX-1-4104-005)'
I could able to generate the DOCX using Doc from template and it is coming perfectly fine with the spaces, line breaks and paragraphs,
But when i am trying to convert that to PDF using PDF from DOCX it is ignoring the line breaks and paragraphs . Also my document has Header and Footer which are not coming properly.
Any Idea what can be done for this.
the sample body which is passing into the ###body### in word is as follows
ABC</w:t><w:br/><w:t>Sample Org</w:t><w:br/><w:t></w:t><w:br/><w:t></w:t><w:br/><w:t>06/06/2018</w:t><w:br/><w:t></w:t><w:br/><w:t>Dear ABC</w:t><w:br/><w:t></w:t><w:br/><w:t>ABC</w:t><w:br/><w:t></w:t><w:br/><w:t>Our Reference: A-99000/123/456</w:t><w:br/><w:t>EN: 22-22-22-22</w:t><w:br/><w:t>Product: A-99000/231-01</w:t><w:br/><w:t>number: Protocol No -1</w:t><w:br/><w:t>Reason: This is the sample reason</w:t><w:br/><w:t></w:t><w:br/><w:t> this is to populate the values in word which is coming perfectly fine.
But the end result is PDF.
clintonj007 This plug-in uses a library called DOCX4J for the conversion which sometimes produces this error on very complex and large documents. The version of DOCX4J used in v1.5.1 of this plug-in fixes a number of these errors, however does not solve them completely.
We have used this smart service to convert a word document which is having 360+ pages to PDF and we are getting an error message "Exception exporting package".
Can you please guide how to proceed on this?
Thanks & Regards,
