Hi Anita,

I suspect this will be the solution I go with, however, I can't seem to get it to work.

The Word activity works fine with a Server Object but not with an Activity. The only activity I can get to recognise is the Search activity and the Word activity is saving the XML of the search results, not the resulting entry. I've tried selecting "Return First Entry Only"

Hi Ben,

You'll first need to use the Download Electronic Document activity, otherwise as you've experienced it'll give you the XML.

too easy!

I had the same issue as Ben, the Download Electronic Document was the answer, thanks Anita.

This is a great task, especially for e-mail attachments.  However, we are finding thta it throws a lot of errors in this form:

    6/28/2018 11:35:02 AM    Update Word Document Not Notarized    Loading [MinorFormattingLossCategory]: Import of element 'rsids' is not supported in Docx format by Aspose.Words.

The pdf actually looks fine - is there an update that would resolve this?  We are using WF 10.2 by the way.

There's a discussion about this on the Aspose forum. Does it help?

@Ben Birns, I'm using this WF activity to create a PDF to attach to an email, but now I'd like to save to the repository.  How did you save the converted PDFs back to the repository?

My WF is attached and I used the Download Electronic Document activity followed by the Create Entry, Assign Fields, and Attach Electronic document to save to the repository.  This results in a second Word document saved in the repository, not a PDF.  Thoughts?
