Known Issues


WCM


If your Alfresco repository already has a space named 'Web Projects' in Company Home, then you will get a 'duplicate child name' error after enabling WCM.  Rename your existing space prior to enabling WCM.


OpenOffice


OpenOffice 2.0.2 has a bug that means it cannot be used at all for document transformation.  There are also issues with converting certain documents to PDF in OpenOffice 2.0.1.  We therefore recommend OpenOffice 2.0.3 or higher should be used.
