Hi Folks,
Just bought Corporate and trying to roll out my first project.
The project steps are the following:
Load data array of 50 clients that need documents.
For each of 10 different docx templates {
1) Create docx from template.
2) Transform docx to PDF.
3) Copy PDF to another folder.
}
I'm running into a frustrating problem on step 2 where transformDocument from docx to PDF will generate a PDF with permission of 600 (rw-------) instead of the normal 644 rw-r--r--. The end result is that an error is generated on the next step when trying to copy the file to another folder: "failed to open stream: Permission denied."
The script runs fine for a dozen records or so and then generates a PDF that can't copied, stopping the process.
If I re-run he same record, the problem persists. If I move to the next record, the scripts runs normally. This points to a problem with certain records, I can;t figure out why.
Here is the log for the particular template that is generating the problem files.

Hello,
The conversion plugin is a external command so it creates the files with the same permissions the umask is set.
It's really strange that the method creates some files with the right permissions and other not. You can try setting a new umask value to check if the error still persists.
Regards.
An update.....
I was wrong about the intermittent permissions. It is consistently writing rw-------. where "admin" is the owner and as a result, php can not copy the file....which stops the entire process.
I'm on Mac OS X. I don't believe that I am using the plugin.
How is this resolved? I tried running chmod after the PDF transform, but once again, php won't cooperate.
Thx
Jonathan
Hello,
You need to set a new umask to change the default rw access to files.

Thanks.
I will look into the Umask. As a temp solution, I was able to figure out how to set the folder owner to be _www so that the copt operation could proceed.
