Hey fellas,
I submitted this to my VAR, but yall might like to know that there is a bug in the PDM Office Convert to PDF task where it can delete your work.
DO NOT run the Word/Excel-> PDF task on checked out files. It will revert the file to the previous version (or blank document). Make sure the live file is checked in before running the task.
I had 6hrs into a document, saved it, closed it, hit the PDM PDF button, and it erased all my work. Not cool. I tried using Disk Drill (really cool tool) to get it back, but no luck.
Its repeatable in SW2018sp4 and I don't see an SPR for this issue, so it may well still happen in newer versions. If anyone is on a newer version please feel free to comment.
This doesn’t occur for the Solidworks drawings to PDF task.
SPR is 1128380
