Hello,

The new version of this plugin now contains a timeout but there are cases where it still fails and the conversion thread does not appear to be terminated correctly when the timeout is reached and continues running indefinitely blocking the engine. Unblocking the thread can be solved only with the restart of the application server.

Could you please check this issue?

If anyone else has this issues, the fix is to use data-docid instead of appianDocId, until a fix is released.

We are having issues with images not displaying in the pdf when using the smart service "HTML to PDF (Page Number and Custom Fonts)".

The same images display fine when using "HTML to PDF" smart service.

Hi team,

we also have an issue with the PDF conversion once we updated the plugin from 2.1.12 to 3.0.0.

The document generated is displayed as empty, even the file is not 0 size.

We also utilize a font document and an HTML template with an included image.

Hi Vuram team,

After upgrading from version 2.1.1 to version 3.0.0, we are observing an issue with generating PDFs with the plugin with the following conditions:

1) A font document is passed to the smart service

2) An image is included in the HTML

Version 2.1.1 of the plugin supports this, so this appears to be a regression. Are you able to check if a bug was introduced in the latest version and provide a fix? I'm happy to provide a simple HTML file that we're using to reproduce the issue.
