@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
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.
