ADTS 6.7 Word to PDF (page numbering incorrect)

Hello readers,

While using ADTS 6.7 to convert Word to PDF I encountered the problem that simple page numbering is not working correctly.
The solution to this problem is simple.

Add the following registry entry to the DTS/ADTS Server:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adlib\Adlib Express\1.0.0\Native App Settings\Microsoft Word]
"PrintInBackground"=dword:00000001
Restart Adlib and DTS/ADTS Services.

Kind regards, Marcus

AdvancedPDFProcessor - Time Out Within Advanced PDF Plugin

Hello readers,

Today I was again struggling with ADTS 6.7 to convert Word to PDF.
I know that I solved the problem before...

After a bit of digging I found the solution.
The problem is the Adlib software while running on a server in domain.

The log message
INFO [***] AdvancedPDFProcessor - Time Out Within Advanced PDF Plugin

The solution
- Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Documentum\CTS\Adlib\Express Web Services\Connector\ExponentConnector.exe".
- Browse to "Tools" > "Exponent Connector Options" and select "Exponent Managers" tab
- It should have two entries one with machine name and other with full machine name with domain. If not add the missing one.
- Carry out similar steps with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Documentum\CTS\Adlib\Express Web Services\Manager\ExponentManager.exe".
- Restart all CTS/ADTS and Adlib services.

Kind regards, Marcus

The world of dqMan

Hello readers,

Most people I talk to about Documentum are using Samson, DQLTester, Delilah, or RepoInt. Over the last year I'm using dqMan to query on the Documentum repositories. It supports a rich set of features that will speed up your development times.

Aside from the querying part it can also do API scripts and even generate them by using API templates. You can have a DQL result list and generate another DQL batch for each row or create an API script. Very useful fixing stuff or when you want to kill a lot of workflows.

My personal favorite is the "favorites" library. I can store all my common used queries and I can exchange them with me colleges. It also let you open multiple tabs for different repositories (or the same by using a copy button) and dumped objects. You can easily switch between tabs to compare and do complex stuff.

Another cool feature is that you can build "input templates". These are placeholders within a query for object_ids, object_names or whatever you like and let a prompt window choose a value for it by another DQL, a fixed list or just a simple textfield, you name it.


But most of all it's free as the air around you.
Download dqMan it's worth a try!


Kind regards, Marcus

About Documentum

Hello readers,

This is my first blog post about Documentum. I decided to start a blog about it, because I like to help people and to share my knowledge with the rest of the world.

To make things easier I will post tips and tricks about the things I came across while working with Documentum. But you can also expect some news items about EMC software and there partners aswell.

I hope this blog will be useful to some people out there.

King regards,
Marcus
