Features
Features
There are a lot of cases when we need to convert files from Word supported file types (docx, doc, txt, rtf) to PDF. By importing this workflow a developer's job is simplified. He can invoke this workflow by passing a file or a folder of files to the workflow and it will handle everything from that moment.
The workflow returns 3 arrays as output arguments containing the files which could be converted, the files which couldn't be converted and the resulted PDFs for later use.
