  • Dear Group,

    After moving to version 23.4 and updating the plugin to the newest version, the smart service is erroring out with a message: "java.lang.NullPointerException". It is not specific to any process, just anything we are trying to convert is failing.

    Anyone facing the same problem ?

    I got it resolved, but don't know the root cause, however hope it can help someone.

    So what you need to do is add any document as 'Font Document', close the smart service, open it again and remove the document. Maybe after the above action, service is sending 'empty' instead null, but just a guess.

    Important is that it get back to work.
