  • Hello,

    I am trying to convert a PDF document to image through the relative node "Convert PDF to Image", but there is an error during Activity Class execution. The details report the following:

    bundleName for SmartServiceException, builder.smartServiceClass=class com.appiancorp.ps.pdftools.AbstractPDFDocumentGeneration 

    I have populated the fields for inputs and outputs as follows:

    Inputs:

    • Document: pv!document (type Document)
    • Save In Folder: pointer constant (type Folder)
    • Image Format: JPG (type Text)
    • DPI Resolution: left blank (not mandatory field)

    Outputs:

    Any help appreciated.

    Best regards.
