Could someone please provide an example of how to use this activity? For some reason I am having trouble

I cannot figure out how to reply to your response. I do not have a screenshot but I was getting an error saying the input path was invalid.

Could you explain what type of values should go into SourceFolderPath and DestinationFolderPath? Should they be full paths to files, one with .txt and one with .pdf? Should they be variables? If possible, just provide a basic example with a .txt file being converted to a .pdf file?

Ah I see, only the folder, not the file. Thank you so much!

Is this Activity/Package compatible with Studio 2020.10.2?

I was not able to find namespace iTextSharp 5.5.13.1

So, without importing that namespace I tried to run the activity and got the below errors:

1. When I have provided complete filepaths including .txt and .pdf, it has thrown the exception "The directory name is invalid."

2. When I just gave Folderpath's, it has thrown the exception

"Pdf Text Converter: No compiled code to run

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Document' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) At line 10

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PdfWriter' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) At line 11
