Question

DocumentExporter is not defined? PdfExportOptions is not declared?

Workflow

Updated June 13, 2022

asked on June 2, 2022

I have this script that is working just fine in another WF. But I move it here, and I get these errors. Nothing about the code is different from where I took it. I get the error of "DocumentExporter" is not defined. Also, I am getting 'PdfExportOptions' is not declared. What do I need to do to fix this?

Also a bonus, I created a token called _modifiedPath and want to have it put that text in a file path. I am doing it right?

Did you add a reference to Laserfiche.DocumentServices (in the Project Explorer pane)? Is the reference for the same version as your Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess (given that your script says " RAScriptClass92 ", they both should be version 9.2)?

Designer is running 11.0.2012.264. The LF client is 11.0.2201.233.
The most updated version I see of Laserfiche.DocumentServices and Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess is 10.4. There was no choice for 11 there, which I would expect would be my choice because we are using LF 11, which we just updated to last week.

But alas, I chose the 9.2 version for both DS and RA, and changed script back to be 'Inherits RAScriptClass92. As long as the versions of both of these references and the RAScriptClass agreeing on the same version, it should work, correct?

Thanks so much for saving me hours.

Yes, that should be fine, though the latest version of these libraries are always preferred.

Paul,

As for your 'bonus' question; make sure the token for _modifiedPath resolves with an '\' on the end of it or manually add one when you concatenate the path.

ex.ExportPdf(doc, doc.AllPages,PdfExportOptions.None, "\\fsstl06\userdirs\Scanning\Emma_Securian\" & GetTokenValue("_modifiedPath") & "\" & GetTokenValue("Entry Name") & ".pdf")

It worked on the first try, Cliff. Within LF, should all paths (including just folders) end with a \ ?

Paul,

Not quite tracking what you are asking. In your example code above you are concatenating a set of string values to get a full path for a document. In order for that full path to be valid each folder segment needs to be separated with the '\' character.

For example; if your _modifiedPath token resolves to the string "MyFolder" and your Entry Name token resolves to the string "MyDocument" then the resulting full path will be "\\fsstl06\userdirs\Scanning\Emma_Securian\MyFolderMyDocument.pdf", which is incorrect.

If the string value that the _modifiedPath token resolves to does not end with the character "\" then you have to manually insert it during the concatenation so that the final full path is "\\fsstl06\userdirs\Scanning\Emma_Securian\MyFolder\MyDocument.pdf".

All that being said, from a programming perspective the better solution would be to use the Combine method on the System.IO.Path class to concatenate a full path for a file.

_modifiedPath has the \ in it with a regular expression, so it's good. My short reply was just checking to see if file paths needed to end in a \ if the last part of it is a folder rather than a file. Seems like it's a good practice. I am ecstatic it works though. Now if only I can muddle through all the new problems created by our recent upgrade....I have made already a couple of new posts today. This answers site is my LF dojo. :)
