Alfresco 3.0 Content rules transformation from Tiff to PDF

dak0 — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:07:08 GMT

Hi,I have a problem with a content rule that transforms TIFF files into PDF files. It doesn't work.The rule creates a PDF file but this is a TIFF file with different extension. When I view this file in Adobe Reader I receive an error about damaged file.If I view this PDF in IrfanView (image viewer)

I also tried on Windows version, and it is the same. What am I doing wrong?

What program is responsible for such a transformation is it Openoffice or Imagemagick?

I have the same problem. I think it has something to do with the transformDocument() type over the transformImage()

It seems like it allows you to convert particular mime types. So i can convert a TIFF to a GIF (image/tiff ~ image/gif) no problem
and i can convert a word doc to a pdf (application/msword ~ application/pdf). But not:

image/tif ~ application/pdf

I think there is something going on in the back end but im not too sure. I can convert these files to pdf in cmd but not through alfresco.

Anybody else have this problem??

Ill be sure to post my findings on here. Good luck Dak0
