Cannot create PDF rendition since update from 4.0.d to 4.2.c

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,
I have opened a Jira here (https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-19425) to explain my problem but I open also a Forum Topic because it's a critical problem for me



Previously I had an Alfresco 4.0.d with the following config in alfresco-global.properties

#

    External locations
    #————-
    ooo.exe=/usr/bin/soffice
    ATTENTION : si jod=enable, alors ooo.enabled=false
    ooo.enabled=false
    #img.root=./ImageMagick
    #swf.exe=/usr/local/bin/pdf2swf
    swf.exe=/usr/bin/pdf2swf
    jodconverter.officeHome=/usr/bin/soffice
    jodconverter.portNumbers=8101
    jodconverter.enabled=true

I created a script (JS) with the following code to create a PDF preview of documents:

var node = search.findNode(args.reference);
var thumbnail_result = "no error";
var def = renditionService.createRenditionDefinition("pdf","reformat");
def.parameters['mime-type'] = "application/pdf";
def.execute(node);
model.property = "OK";

There was no problem.

But when I upgrade Alfreco to 4.2.c, previews dont works. With the same configuration, I have the following in alfresco.log

11:06:08,024 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.ContentTransformerRegistry] Searched for transformer:

I tried the following configuration:
#

    External locations
    #————-
    ooo.exe=/usr/bin/soffice
    ATTENTION : si jod=enable, alors ooo.enabled=false
    ooo.enabled=true

    swf.exe=/usr/bin/pdf2swf
    jodconverter.officeHome=/usr/bin/soffice
    jodconverter.portNumbers=8101
    jodconverter.enabled=false

But I have this error:

it seems to be a bug with renditionDefinition in Javascript, because if I use ooo.enabled=true and if I change my webscript like :

var node = search.findNode(args.reference);
node.transformDocument("application/pdf");
model.property = "debug";

A pdf version of the document is correctly created, but if I use my original script to create pdf rendition of my document, I have the error:

11:08:46,153 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.TransformerDebug] 0 doc pdf Envoi doc client pour signature.doc 87.5 KB ContentService.transform(…)

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english…

I think it's a bug similar to this one https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-19027 because I have a rule who automatically added versionable aspect and when I have desactivated it, the bug disapear.
