PDF Tools

After upgrading to the latest version PDF Tools 2.4.1, the generated PDF is having format font issues. I created a new word template from scratch which it uses the word template to convert to PDF and still no luck. I have attached screenshots of the pdf and snippet of the process model. Anyone faced this issue? Please give me your suggestions on how to solve this issue.

Hi,

I am using Create PDF smart service to generate a PDF with plain text.

Am getting the following error in the Create PDF node.

???contents.error.alertMsg???

Error Text: U+000A ('controlLF') is not available in the font Helvetica, encoding: WinAnsiEncoding

Am using the following expression to generate PDF contents

a!localVariables(
local!text:
 "Firstname Vikrant " & char(10) &
 "Lastname Bhardwaj " & char(10) &
 "Address 100 NW AVE " & char(10) &
 "City Irving " & char(10) &
 "Zipcode 12345 "&char(10) &
 "Country USA",
'type!{urn:appian:ps:pdftools}PdfContent'(
 sections:{
 'type!{urn:appian:ps:pdftools}PdfSection'( 
  style:'type!{urn:appian:ps:pdftools}PdfStyle'(
   font:"Times New Roman"
   ),
 components: {
  'type!{urn:appian:ps:pdftools}PdfText'(
  value:local!text
    ) 
   }
  )
 }
)
)

Please let me know how to resolve it.

Thanks,

issue addressed as the functions are not of this plugin.

Hi we have upgraded form an old version 2.2.11 to 2.4.1 and now the plugin "PDF from Single DOCX (with fonts)" is failing, 

we have tried to update the calls using "PDF from DOCX" but it works only with externally loaded DOCX generated from template. It is not not with ones created from a DOCX directly in appian. 

can someone help if it has already faced and addressed the issue?

did it solved

I'm trying to run a user-supplied PDF through "Compress PDF".  It's refusing and giving me the following error message:

Cannot read JPEG2000 image: Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) Image I/O Tools are not installed

This is happening in the current version of the plug-in and for a valid PDF as far as I can tell (it opens fine in Adobe Reader as well as the Appian document preview field, etc).

Any chance an update could be created to account for this issue?

sorry i never saw this reply before (community doesn't bother send notifications of general replies in these threads, for whatever reason) - the "pdf fields" parameter can just be passed a list of dictionary data where each dictionary has parameters named "name" and "value", where "name" will match the PDF fillable field's internal "name" parameter, and "value" is generally any text value. 

I agree the documentation for this plug-in is a little vague as to how that works, though you can get a good idea by looking at the definition for the "PdfField" data type on page 13 of the documentation PDF.

Getting error as "bundleName for SmartServiceException, builder.smartServiceClass=class com.appiancorp.ps.pdftools.AbstractPDFDocumentGeneration" when converting a PDF to image.  How to fix this?

Getting the error below on the mergePDF node:

Appian version 21.4.1075....

Any help will be much appreciated.

I'm attempting to get the number of pages from a PDF using getPDFMetaData, but it's erroring saying Error expected floating point number actual='-17.-32768'.
