  • It is planned a new version for this plugin?
    The heath check report is saying that is using deprecated API's.
    In a future this can be a problem. 

    "PDF Tools (pdftools) references deprecated Appian APIs
    [deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.content.ContentOutputStream.close()
    [deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.content.ContentOutputStream.getContentId()
    [deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.content.ContentService.getInternalFilename(java.lang.Long)
    [deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.content.ContentService.upload(com.appiancorp.suiteapi.knowledge.Document, java.lang.Integer)    "

    Yes, we came across the same issue. We are looking to upgrade our platform and it would be great if we can get an update on when the new version of the plugin will be available that doesn't reference the deprecated APIs.
