Do you have the Aurena Agent installed and enabled?

Also, it looks like you have configured the macro for "WORD07" (.docx files most probably). But you are talking about PDF files. That will not work.

Hi, 

Agent aurena has been installed and run.

Indeed that's the problem, why is the system launching a PDF?

The obvious reason is that a PDF file is checked in to the document revision. Double check and show us a screenshot of the File Refs tab in the Document Revision page.

If the document revision does have a docx file connected, then check the “Document class process action” window to see if the macros are disabled for the given document class.
