Hi

I have a question regarding default PDM print to pdf task. In our workflows, we convert files to pdf after approval of the file. Files are printed by remote hosts, so user are not involved in this process.

The issue appears when user initiate new revision, before the file is converted to pdf. Task will use latest version (this one after initiation of revision), not the version which was created during document approval transition. As a consequence pdf file content is wrong.

This is not frequent issue, because rarely someone need to create revision just after approval of the old one, but it happens from time to time. Our VAR told us that it is how system works and we cannot do anything about it. I cannot expect my users to check if pdf file is created before initiation of new revision, so I would like to introduce some automatization.

The only Idea I have right now, is to restrict host permissions to approved files only, but I have multiple tasks, which also needs to use working version of files, so I need to use several host with different permissions. It will create a lot of additional administration work and decrease hosts response time, due to different number of tasks for different hosts.

Are you facing similar issue?

If you resolved it, how did you do that?

Is it possible to resolve that without API add-on?
