Cannot create PDF rendition since update from 4.0.d to 4.2.c

[sjeandroz]

Hi,
I have opened a Jira here (https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-19425) to explain my problem but I open also a Forum Topic because it's a critical problem for me



Previously I had an Alfresco 4.0.d with the following config in alfresco-global.properties

#

    External locations
    #————-
    ooo.exe=/usr/bin/soffice
    ATTENTION : si jod=enable, alors ooo.enabled=false
    ooo.enabled=false
    #img.root=./ImageMagick
    #swf.exe=/usr/local/bin/pdf2swf
    swf.exe=/usr/bin/pdf2swf
    jodconverter.officeHome=/usr/bin/soffice
    jodconverter.portNumbers=8101
    jodconverter.enabled=true

I created a script (JS) with the following code to create a PDF preview of documents:

var node = search.findNode(args.reference);
var thumbnail_result = "no error";
var def = renditionService.createRenditionDefinition("pdf","reformat");
def.parameters['mime-type'] = "application/pdf";
def.execute(node);
model.property = "OK";

There was no problem.

But when I upgrade Alfreco to 4.2.c, previews dont works. With the same configuration, I have the following in alfresco.log

11:06:08,024 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.ContentTransformerRegistry] Searched for transformer:

I tried the following configuration:
#

    External locations
    #————-
    ooo.exe=/usr/bin/soffice
    ATTENTION : si jod=enable, alors ooo.enabled=false
    ooo.enabled=true
    #img.root=./ImageMagick
    #swf.exe=/usr/local/bin/pdf2swf
    swf.exe=/usr/bin/pdf2swf
    jodconverter.officeHome=/usr/bin/soffice
    jodconverter.portNumbers=8101
    jodconverter.enabled=false

But I have this error:

it seems to be a bug with renditionDefinition in Javascript, because if I use ooo.enabled=true and if I change my webscript like :

var node = search.findNode(args.reference);
node.transformDocument("application/pdf");
model.property = "debug";

A pdf version of the document is correctly created, but if I use my original script to create pdf rendition of my document, I have the error:

11:08:46,153 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.TransformerDebug] 0 doc pdf Envoi doc client pour signature.doc 87.5 KB ContentService.transform(…)

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english…

I think it's a bug similar to this one https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-19027 because I have a rule who automatically added versionable aspect and when I have desactivated it, the bug disapear.
