Alfresco 3.0 Content rules transformation from Tiff to PDF

[dak0]

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 receive an info about extensions mismatch.
When I create a content rule that transforms a Openoffice or Word to PDF then it works.

Second problem that I have, is the access through CIFS. When I copy a file on with a "Content rule" should be applied then the file is damaged. When I add a content through Web Browser, then the files are added correctly.

Configuration:
Alfresco Labs 3 Final, Debian Lenny, Openoffice 3.0, ImageMagic, PDF2SWF

Regards
David

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
