About

  • Generates cm:markdown (text/markdown) from the PDF version of a document using either the newly created cm:pdf rendition or the original when it’s already PDF. So Markdown is produced for any source mimetype
  • Works in two cases:
    1. When Alfresco generates a cm:pdf rendition from another format (DOCX, ODT, etc.)
    2. When the original upload is already a PDF
  • The Markdown file is stored as a proper rendition:
    • Association: rn:rendition
    • Association name (rendition id): cm:markdown
    • Child node has aspect: rn:rendition
    • Mimetype: text/markdown
  • Runs asynchronously after commit (does not block user transactions)
