I wrote a script to save a word or excel document as a PDF with the same file card data, then check in the new PDF. It works, but I keep getting this error for each file:

error.JPG

All the files still check in just fine with the variables populated after click ok. I can put a breakpoint on the last line of the script (batchUnlocker.UnlockFiles(0, Nothing)) and that's where this happens with no additional debug information. I have no idea how to try to fix this.
