Convert Microsoft word doc to PDF

dnhatsave — Sat, 25 Jan 2020 19:27:14 GMT

hi everyone

how like know how can i put the "transform action" in the documents actions after i preview the document.

if this is possible, the users will transform documents to pdf without admins having to create a transformation rule.

Regards,

Dnhatsave.

Users can download the PDF rendition that is created for the previewing.

You can use the Rendition Service to generate a PDF Rendition, but you would have to programmatically "replace" that version with the current version.
