A macro can create a PDF from a Word document, but macros does not run on approval, they only run when a document is checked out (edited), checked in, viewed, etc.

In IEE I cannot remember any changes to the macro functionality. But in Aurena, the way you fetch the path to the local file can be different, depending on how you did it before. I suggest you share the code of the macro here.

Thanks Mathias for the Reply..

I come across Doc Man Macro that rename file extension from to .PDF upon approval. This works in APP8, though not in APP10. We check all the settings and its identical. 

Was there any change on how macro behave in APP8 vs APP10

Hi,

No, there is not. It’s something we want to have but it is not in the plans, at this point.
