CodePlex project for Word Automation Services

I got the following error when i tried to activate the solution to my sharepoint server
This solution contains invalid markup or elements that cannot be deployed as part of a sandboxed solution. Solution manifest for solution ’8a318b41-0260-49c9-a627-4fe83ad052d8′ failed validation, file manifest.xml, line 6, character 4: The element ‘Solution’ in namespace ‘http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/‘ has invalid child element ‘TemplateFiles’ in namespace ‘http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/'. List of possible elements expected: ‘FeatureManifests, ActivationDependencies’ in namespace ‘http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/'.

Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.

So helpful – thanks for publishing this! Now that MOSS 2010 is taking off, this will be really, really helpful (we’re going to test and deploy).

One addition that would be cool is a workflow that, instead of writing to a library, would send by e-mail, or simply activate a download… e.g., “Download as .Doc” or “Download as .DocX” to help the people who don’t have newer versions of MSWord software…

Anyway — great work, thanks again!

Hi Guys,

I am trying to convert infopath form into pdf format.

I think I have done everything but still not getting the output file. For you understanding, I will put the steps I have done:
1) I have used SP2010WordAutomation.Workflow.wsp.
2) I published infopath form to a forms library in SP 2010 site
3) I opened up my sharepoint 2010 designer and created a reusable workflow with content type.
4) I used following action from SP 2010 designer,
Convert documents in library with url http://servername/formlib, using outputformat PDF, store the documents in library with url http://servername/pdflib and place the job id in variable: conversion job id3; if the document already exists “Always overwrite”
5) Once this is done I publish the workflow….
6) Then I go to library http://servername/formlib where my infopath forms can be added using “Add Document”.
7) When I add one form document – The status of the workflow column changes to “In Progress” then after some time it changes to “Completed”.
On clicking the workflow status to check workflow information to check whats happening, it shows
Conversion Job with Id= some id started. Under outcome heaer there is nothing
9) But when I go to library http://servername/pdflib, I dont get the converted file.

Can somebody please tell me what am I missing.

Thanks for you valuable time.

Thanks,
Nirav.

Peter,

Thanks for that. Do you have any option where I can do research for this requirment.

Thanks,
Nirav.

I cannot get this to activate unless I activate the “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service”. When I do that, it gives me the same error as above. What services do I need active to activate this solution? FYI – I’m a newbie

This is great, thanks. Though, I’m running into a workflow issue. I’m using your activity in a workflow in library A to convert a doc to a pdf which lands in library B. I have another workflow in library B that is set to start for every new item. This workflow generates a “failed on start message” for the inbound pdfs. To be clear:

1. manually running the workflow in library B: works fine
2. uploading a doc (which therefore triggers the workflow) in library B: works fine
3. Using word automation services via your activity to generate a pdf in library B: The workflow in library B throws an error. (failed on start)

The workflow in library B has one action: log to history list.

Any thoughts?
