Hi,
I am trying to generate a pdf document from the 'PDF Doc from Template' smart service. In the setup tab of the smart service, when I am providing the name of the pdf template which needs to be scanned, it is not able to detect the place holders.
my pdf template will be scanned for substitution keys starting with “###” and ending with “###”.
However, it is not able to scan it.
Any reasons why?

Thanks...

Any Doc to PDF uses OpenOffice as backend. Conversion results are rather bad. PDF forms do not help you in converting DOC to PDF. As I said, I wrote a custom plugin to do that. You can do the same but have to go through a review process at Appian to deploy it on the cloud.
