HI Guys

We are integrating with a document management system. The recent documents are all in PDF format which works well on the Appian side, the older docs are in TIFF format. Is there a way to convert TIFF docs to PDF so that we can handle all documents in the same way when the user views them?

@pieterk as per my understanding, you can create a Custom Plugin (Smart Service) which can take an input of type Document (tif image) and can return a documentID(for generated PDF Document ID). For doing this you can use itextpdf API in Java

Use either iText (only version less than 5) or Apache PDFBox. iText version above than 5 are AGPL licenses, and hence should not be used in commercial software. However, lower than version 5 are just fine, you can simple copy the jar from APPIANHOME\\ear\\suite.ear\\lib

this is not accurate. You can buy a commercial license for any dual-licensed product from iText (iText5 and iText7 included).
