Failing to save pdf from idw - autodesk-forge

Question

Using Adams example from https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/store-template-documents-appbundle, i am trying to open an idw document and save as a pdf. I am getting the following error from forge
InventorCoreConsole.exe Information: 0 : Processing failed: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))

string idwDocPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(assemblyPath, parameters["generator"], "test.idw");
Document idwDoc = m_server.Documents.Open(idwDocPath, false);
pdf output code
TranslatorAddIn PDFAddIn;
TranslationContext context;
NameValueMap options;
DataMedium dataMedium;
GetPDFAddIn(m_server, out PDFAddIn, out context, out options, out dataMedium);
dataMedium.FileName = System.IO.Path.Combine(assemblyPath, parameters["generator"], "sampleOutput.pdf");
PDFAddIn.SaveCopyAs(idwDoc, context, options, dataMedium);
// Close the idw
idwDoc.Close(true);
void GetPDFAddIn(InventorServer ThisApplication, out TranslatorAddIn PDFAddIn, out TranslationContext context, out NameValueMap options, out DataMedium dataMedium)
{
PDFAddIn = (TranslatorAddIn)ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById["{0AC6FD96-2F4D-42CE-8BE0-8AEA580399E4}"];
context = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext();
context.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism;
options = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap();
options.Value["All_Color_AS_Black"] = 1;
options.Value["Remove_Line_Weights"] = 1;
options.Value["Vector_Resolution"] = 400;
options.Value["Sheet_Range"] = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintAllSheets;
options.Value["Custom_Begin_Sheet"] = 1;
options.Value["Custom_End_Sheet"] = 1;
dataMedium = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium();
}
Any thoughts on why i would be getting this error?

Answer 1

Usually option settings is wrapped in if block.
// Check whether the translator has 'SaveCopyAs' options
if(PDFAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(oDocument, oContext, oOptions)){
// Options for drawings...
oOptions.Value["Sheet_Range"] = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintCurrentSheet;
oOptions.Value["All_Color_AS_Black"] = 0;
// oOptions.Value["Remove_Line_Weights"] = 0;
// oOptions.Value["Vector_Resolution"] = 400;
// oOptions.Value["Custom_Begin_Sheet"] = 2;
// oOptions.Value["Custom_End_Sheet"] = 4;
