Plug-ins

Hi, Does anyone know of any plug-ins or perhaps connected system integration approach through external service which might support the capability to convert a Flattened PDF to a fillable PDF?   This can be done manually using Adobe editor.   Have a requirement to consume a PDF produced by external system which cannot be modified  which is flattened but need to unflatten form fields and a signature field.  Would prefer not to have to go down develop of custom plug-in approach. Regards, Bob

Hello, I am working on a connected systems plugin that needs to work with the data entities and storage within Appian. I would like to know whether it is possible to create data entities automatically through the plugin if they don't exist and read the data attributes (not only values) of entities all using the Java API. It is also unclear to me from the documentation where I should even begin to look when working with the Java API, so if someone could point me in the right direction as well, that would be great! Thanks!

Hi community, I have a PPT document, is there any way to convert it into PDF file ? Even converting to DOCS would be fine then I can convert DOCS into PDF easily. Thanks

I have a requirement wherein a table with some information in the columns and  one column with link for each data has to be sent as a PDF attachment over an email to a set of users. We see that the table data populates fine but the column with links when using the PDF from HTML smart service populates as a simple text not as a hyperlink.  The syntax we used for the link was "<td style='width:5%'><a href='" & fv!item[recordtype.url] & "' style='color: #0068a5;'>www.google.com</a></td>" When the rule is called the following data appears but the click here is a text not a hyperlink. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Everyone, Is there any plugin or approach to display the Realtime notification to logged in user in Appian. Example: Use case is, whenever the case created and assigned to any logged in member, should see the desktop/web notification saying case assigned to you. In Realtime users they opened the homepage,they would like to know whenever the case is assigned to particular person through desktop/web notification, so they act immediately. Otherwise, users need to keep on refresh the home screen. We thought below two approaches but see the couple disadvantages. 1. When the case is created, can send an email to user and user can enable the outlook desktop notification feature but at this movement we would not increase the emails.  2. Add the refresh interval to get the data but it is not that much of user focus. Alway need to focus on the screen. Could you please help us is there any other approach/plugins. Thanks In Advance!!
