Hi Vuram team,

I'm trying to use the rotate page smart service, but I'm not getting the expected results. I've tried several combinations in the smart service inputs, with no success.

After execution, the smart service execution is successful, even a new file is generated, but not with the intended 90 degrees rotation of the given page.

Additionally, the documentation doesn't explain how this function works.

Any clue what could be wrong?

For example, the page number is a text. I've tried it as zero and also one index. But not sure which one is the right choice.

Our client would like to be able to apply a watermark consistently in the top left corner of the page. However, they have a mixture of landscape and portrait PDFs, and no way to identify which documents are which dimensions.

Has anyone come across this scenario before? The same co-ordinates won't work for all docs because top left for some out be out of bounds for others.

Hi, this plugin is currently identified by the Appian Healthcheck report as referencing deprecated Appian APIs (com.appiancorp.exceptions.AppianException.getMessage()). This is happening with the latest version installed (9.0.4).
Can this please be updated to remove references to the deprecated APIs?

We are traying to have a page numbering in the following format :"Page 1 of 2" , "Page 2 of 2"
in order to achieve this we used this format ( "Page " & { ac!StartPage + 1 } & " of " & pv!pageCount) inside the "Page Format Text",but we are not getting the same result below on all pages

Hi Vuram team,

Thank you for making this plugin available, and for the consistent updates - it's a really useful utility!

I'm working with a team that are on a much older version of Appian and upgrading will take a while. Is it possible to get an older version of the PDF Utilities plugin that was built for 22.1 please (such as 7.1.3)? I'm aware we'll lose the later enhancements you've made and that it's available as-is - we won't expect any support on that version of the plugin.

All the best,

Oliver
