aaah sorry to read but nice input. instantly checked for the auther and its even appian themselves. Hoping they fixing it.
As of version 2.5.2 (and found on the older editions we try, such as 2.2.5 and 2.2.9), the PDF to Image smart service results in Filled Checkboxes (from a user-fillable form) rendering not as checked boxes, but as boxes with a smaller box inside them (as if, instead of a "check mark", each checkbox is being given a "broken image placeholder"). This is a big problem for us as this functionality was the one way we'd come up with to overcome a major blocker otherwise, but will be useless to us with this bug in-place as it's incomprehensible to end users.
Hi,
Any update please as this is causing production issues requiring manual intervention on many image conversions each day.
Thanks

Using smart service to Convert mage to PDF and the following error occurs. Any ideas?
Hello,
We attempted to use the Convert Image to PDF smart service, but received the error below. After further investigation, it appears that ImageIO does not support the conversion of CMYK-encoded images. Is there a plan to enable this functionality? If not, are there ways that we can restrict Appian file uploads to exclude CMYK images?
ERROR com.appiancorp.ps.pdftools.ConvertImageToPDF - Error converting image to PDF java.io.IOException: Image file format not supported by ImageIO
Hello team! Is there any chance that we could somehow partially flatten some PDF fields?
Out of curiosity, is there any plan to fix this particularly problematic error in the PDF Tools official documentation? I just downloaded a fresh copy to see if the error was still there compared to the copy I last downloaded ~4 years ago, but it's still the same.
