Whilst it may be possible to do the PDF conversion for a one off bulk upload some other way (PDFBox or similar?), we are still left with the problem of uploading the documents in such a way as to trigger our metadata tagging and other rules currently defined on the document upload folders in Alfresco.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Also going forwards we have approx 30-50 end users that need to reliably connect to the Alfresco repository via CIFS for uploading documents as part of their daily use of the system. Does anyone with a similar setup have experience of whether the issue above is likely to make this approach unworkable?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any suggestions / feedback on resolving the issue above greatly appreciated, or a timeframe for when the SP4 2.2E version of Alfresco will be available for download.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:43:27 GMT chrisb 2009-02-02T13:43:27Z CIFS / SMB error preventing document upload via CIFS https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-smb-error-preventing-document-upload-via-cifs/m-p/178280#M131410 Attempting to upload more than 200 Word docs via the CIFS interface causes CIFS connected shares from Windows XP clients to disconnect and requires Alfresco to be restarted.
