Overview
When version controlling objects that do not support PDF conversion, depending on the setup, they may also end up for PDF conversion (attempts). This will cause unnecessary error messages and may require manual actions from users to be prevented.
This article gives some ideas for controlling this.
Solution
In the M-Files QMS Template, there already is a property and configuration for that property that is set up to skip PDF conversion, " Release as PDF".
So, the above is an example of how to skip PDF conversion, but that would still need to be set manually to "No" by the user.
For automation there is another property with basic scripting as the automatic value. NOTE that this is only a sample script and may need some additions and review depending on the specific environment. It, for example, skips all multi-file documents, even if all the files are supported for conversion.
"Is PDF Processing Whitelisted File Type"
Using the code sample above to control the property set to ignore conditions, skipping can be automated and no longer requires user interaction.
