Hey Everyone,
Been working with Nintex Workflows to create some document publishing workflows for one of my clients and ran into an issue with converting documents to PDF. Did a little research and found that the convert document function in Nintex relies on the Word Automation Services of SharePoint.
I found that having the Word Automation Service configured and running did not work properly. Everytime I ran the workflow it would error out saying the document was not valid. Did a little research and the April 2012 Cumulative Update does not resolve this issue.
To fix this issue, I ran the following PowerShell script and the Word Automation services worked!
$sp = Get-SPServiceApplication | where {$_.TypeName.Equals(“Word Automation Services”)}
$sp.DisableSandbox = $true
$sp.Update()
