Question

Move Pages from one entry to another entry

Workflow Laserfiche Version 10 Search and Retrieval

Hi,

I have written a workflow to copy the pages from a number of Schedules to a main entry. Each schedule is created in a for loop and I am trying to move the page into Create Entry outside the for loop. This process is illustrated in the diagram below:

I run this workflow and the pages are not being moved to Create Entry. Only the first schedule is attached to Create Entry and output to the repository.

I get the following warning when the workflow is run.

Any help and advice would be great :)

Hi James

In your workflow, you are attaching a native Word doc to your Create B Document Entry. Word is a Native file type and does not generate LF Pages on creation which is why you have no Pages to Move.

Something to try is in the Word Update Activity, Under the Settings Button (Cog) at the top, change the settings to save the document as a PDF instead. Then in your User that you are running the workflow under, In the Client, log in as that user, and set under Options>New Documents>PDF> to Generate LF Pages.

Run your workflow and see if your generated file now has pages.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for replying to my problem, LF Pages sounds like the way forward. I was previously converting them to pdf files when saving them to the repository. I made the changes Options>New Documents>Setting you suggested in the your post but they only seem to apply to pdf file imported into the repository, not ones that are created by a workflow.

Kind regards,

James

Hi James,

I know this is an old post, but were you ever able to find a solution to this? I'm running into the same issue -- electronic docs created by Workflow have 0 pages -- and am trying everything possible to avoid QuickFields.
