Dynamic Document Generator

Overview

This version is for Appian 22.3 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 22.2 and lower version in the folder pre-22.3

Hello,

We are experiencing an error in our production environment "org.docx4j.openpackaging.exceptions.Docx4JException: Exception exporting package", after upgrading Appian to 22.3 and the plugin to 2.0.1. I see Sasi S mentioned this a month ago, but don't see a response other than a new version. Is there something else we should upgrade to get this functionality to work?
