Sudden CONDITIONAL_PHRASE_TAG length limit

[James385314232o55]

Hello,

Today my application is running into this issue with a long conditional phrase. We have not made changes in months to the document or the codebase but this issue seemed to start last night. Have there been changes in regards to this?

I am using the Adobe PDF Services SDK and the bad response comes from this line of code:

documentMergeOperation.Execute(object);

With a response similar to:

CONDITIONAL_PHRASE_TAG with name "ExampleTextLongerThan400" of length greater than 400 is not allowed.;

I am on version 3.4.0 in .NET.

Can you share the condition from your Word doc? You can rename stuff if it is sensitive, but try to keep it the same length.

Here is my expression: expr(State.AbrreviaState = "CA" or State.AbrreviaState = "CO" or State.AbrreviaState = "CT" or State.AbrreviaState = "FL" or State.AbrreviaState = "IN" or State.AbrreviaState = "IA" or State.AbrreviaState = "KS" or State.AbrreviaState = "LA" or State.AbrreviaState = "ME" or State.AbrreviaState = "MD" or State.AbrreviaState = "MA" or State.AbrreviaState = "MO" or State.AbrreviaState = "NJ" or State.AbrreviaState = "NY" or State.AbrreviaState = "NC" or State.AbrreviaState = "ND" or State.AbrreviaState = "OK" or State.AbrreviaState = "PA" or State.AbrreviaState = "SC" or State.AbrreviaState = "TX" or State.AbrreviaState = "VA" or State.AbrreviaState = "VT" or State.AbrreviaState = "WA" or State.AbrreviaState = "WI" or State.AbrreviaState = "WV" or State.AbrreviaState = "WY")

It is definitely over 400 characters and always has been, I am just wondering why now there is validation for it.

I raised this internally. For a solution RIGHT now, I suggest that in code, you handle this condition and use a new thing like, okState:true or okState:false. To be fair, I'd recommend that anyway to keep the 'logic' in Word simpler. Again though, this is reported, but I suggest making the change in code for now.

I am using the IN keyword which shortens it up a bit now. Is there a way I can follow the progress of this bug?

[Raymond Camden]

I don't have a formal bug report yet. I'm going to be on PTO the rest of the week, but if I hear something, I'll let you know. 

[James385314232o55]

Raymond, have you heard anything yet?

[James385314232o55]

@Raymond Camden any word on this yet?

[Raymond Camden]

No, let me check.

[James385314232o55]

@Raymond Camden Are you able to get an update?
