My use case is I have a large PDF that is essentially a bunch of smaller PDFs stitched together. Each smaller PDF has a dynamic number of pages, and they’re split by a separator page, so a human can tell when an individual document starts. I know there’s a PDF Tools plug in, but it doesn’t seem like there’s functionality to split by a separator page or something similar - it’s all by a specified page range or by number of pages in a document. The best thing I can think of right now is to use AI or something to find out where the separator pages are, the page ranges of the individual documents are, and loop through the large document until the end, but that sounds like it might be complicated and I’m wondering if there’s a simpler solution? Thank you in advance!

Environment: Appian Community Edition — Site "W1423AIS Acme IT"Data Source affected: W0380 Data Source (MariaDB)Description:I am experiencing errors indicating that multiple tables are missing from my "W0380" data source, which I did not delete or modify manually.Errors observed so far: On the "W0380AS Vehicle" record type: "The configured database table is invalid. The AS_VEHICLE table does not exist in the configured data source. Change the database table to continue." Key details: I log into this environment regularly; my last login before noticing this issue was about one week prior.I did not perform any manual deletions, renames, or schema changes on these tables.The issue appears to affect more than one table within the same data source (W0380), suggesting a possible environment-wide database issue rather than an isolated table problem.

How can I initiate the SFTP in Appian Designer? Are there any built-in Plugins available like HTTP or Appian RPA to initiate the SFTP? How can I connect AWS with the Process Model in Appian and make the data interactive between them?

We are using Rich Text plugin(Vuram) in our application and facing multiple issues some of them are - Copy the data in specific format and paste that in the editor. This does not maintain the formatting but disturbs the copied formatting - Generating some extra metadata within HTML tags causing failure in the document generation - Nested list items is not maintained too What are the options we have available to avoid such issues as the data formatting while copy paste or manual is prime requirement with the proper HTML generated by the plugin.

I am looking for some guidance on generating large PDF documents in Appian.We have an existing site page that displays more than 13,000 records. As part of an export feature, we retrieve the data, generate XML content, generate a word document and then convert it to PDF (using Advanced Document Templating plugin). Currently, the export process retrieves around 3,000 records. Each record contains several large text fields (around 5 - 6 columns) so the overall amount of content is quite large. The word document is generated successfully and is about 768 KB in size and has approximately 5 million characters. The issue occurs during the word to PDF conversion. The conversion starts, but it appears to consume significant resources and causes the environment to become unavailable.  My questions are: 1. Are there any known character limits for Word to PDF conversion plugin?2. Are there any alternative plugins or approaches that are better suited for large documents? I understand

I am using the Advanced Rich Text Editor component (Vuram) and have set the maximum size limit to 4000. When testing, I noticed that the component shows 100% usage when I enter around 3700 plain text characters, even without any formatting.  My assumption is that the component stores the content as HTML and the size calculation includes not only the text I enter but also the HTML tags generated by the editor. When I checked the source, the total HTML content length was around 3989 characters, which is very close to the configured limit of 4000.Is my understanding correct, or am I missing something? Has anyone else experienced this behavior or knows how the size limit is calculated?Any insights would be appreciated.Thanks!
