Using the .transformDocument function

[rodrigoa]

Good Afternoon all,

I am having some problems to transform a .doc into a .pdf. I am creating a .doc and trying to convert it to a .pdf and put it into a specific site. Is that possible? or is there any other way to do what I need?

Here is my code:

         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
            <script>
               var site = siteService.getSite("revision");
               var doc1 = userhome.createFile("transform_me1.doc");
               doc1.mimetype = "text/plain";
               doc1.content = "This is plain text";
               var trans1 = doc1.transformDocument("application/pdf", site);
            </script>
         </action>

Thanks in advance,

Rodrigo Araujo.

Hi Rodrigo,

Following your other post it would be:

var revisionSite = siteService.getSite("revision");
var documentLibrary = revisionSite.getContainer("documentLibrary");
var myDocument = documentLibrary. childByNamePath("path/to/my/document.doc");
var trans1 = myDocument.transformDocument("application/pdf", documentLibrary);
‍‍‍‍‍‍

That code would place the PDF in the document library in the 'revision' site.

Hi Adei,

thank very much for your answer. If you do not mind, I would like to ask one thing more.

I am getting the below error:

10:49:28,842 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger] org.alfresco.service.cmr.workflow.WorkflowException: 00170005 Failed to signal transition approuver from workflow task jbpm$217.
10:49:28,842 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger] Returning 500 status code

I tried the code you sent to me, and I also tried to change the "path/to/my/document.doc" for "documentLibrary", because I want to get the document that is located into the revision site, but in both cases the return of childByNamePath are null.

Thanks in advance,

Rodrigo Araujo

Hi Rodrigo,

That error is not related to the code I sent you but to the workflow definition.

Could you post the workflow definition process and the error log you are getting?

Also I believe you you must be saving the document at the end of the script.
myDocument .save();
This is the format I guess.

[amandaluniz_z]

You don't need to save the document as you're not changing anything in myDocument

Hello Adei,

thank you very much again for your answer.

Actually I resolve half of this problem, with this….

var revisionSite = siteService.getSite("revision");
var publieesSite = siteService.getSite("publiees");
var documentLibraryRevision = revisionSite.getContainer("documentLibrary");
var documentLibraryPubliees = publieesSite.getContainer("documentLibrary");
var myDocument = documentLibraryRevision.childByNamePath("test.doc");
var trans = myDocument.transformDocument("application/pdf");

I just replaced the "path/to/my/document.doc" for "test.doc", and it works now. But, unfortunatelly, It brought me to another problem, I wrote test.doc because I know the .doc I am using to do my test, but in a real situation I would not know the name of the file. Is there anyway to this in a generic way?!!

As you requested, here is my workflow definition process:

Hi Rodrigo,

I guess that you want to use your doc in the workflow to approve it.

For that purpose you'll need to attach it to the workflow (I guess the user will manually). if so, the document will be available in bpm_package variable. That is a scriptNode object containing all the nodes attached to the workflow.

To get access to your doc you should use this code:

for (var i = 0; i < bpm_package.children.length; i++)
                   {

                      var myDoc = bpm_package.children[i]
                      …….
                   }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If you know there'll be just one doc in the workflow you could do bpm_package.children[0]
