Hi, was trying out this PDF Tool - Create PDF but then I always get an error below on testing it out.

There is a problem with task “Create PDF” in the process “Create PDF Test”. [An error occured while trying to verify the Contents input: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.Object;]

I'm trying to create pdf using a png image. Thanks!...

Could you attach a screenshot showing how you have the PDF node setup, and your application-server.log?

@Aleksi. Hi! I'm currently using it on cloud. Are you referring to data node input?

The data node input, and the setup tab if there is one. Which environment are you testing this in?

For the Contents parameter, what type of variable is pv!tempDoc? What data is it holding at the point when it is used in that PDF node?

But is tempDoc a document type? The error implies that the type of variable for tempDoc is wrong for the input (it should be Any Type). If it is a document type, you'll need to change that
