Microsoft® Word® Documents To PDF Conversion
Note
This plug-in has been moved to the Legacy group.
The Microsoft® Word® Documents to PDF Conversion action task can be used to convert a
Word® document into a PDF file that can be used in your PlanetPress Workflow process. It can
also do a Mail Merge as it runs the task.
Warning
As of Microsoft Office 2010, running an Office application in a service context is no longer
supported by Microsoft. When used with Word 2010 or a later version, the Microsoft®
Word® Documents To PDF Conversion plugin is expected to run into issues related to
Word being run as a service.
Notes
l This plugin requires a license with the Optimized Output option.
l Microsoft® Word® needs to be installed for this task to be functional and to test the
connection.
l Microsoft Word must not be currently opened when the automation task runs.
l Microsoft Word 2003 up to Word 2007 are supported.
l While debugging this task, the printer shows the message that the document can not be
printed. This message is normal and will not appear when running a live configuration.
l
The task uses a printer queue set with the “PlanetPress Word to PDF Printer” driver,
which is created and set by default on-the-fly the first time a Microsoft® Word®
Documents to PDF Conversion action task is run. This printer cannot be shared on the
network in order to avoid confusion from network users, however it is shared between all
Microsoft® Word® Document to PDF action tasks on the same system.
