Submitting an older version of a file to Word Automation Services

Question

I'm able to obtain the URL to a specific version of a file. I would like to submit that URL to WAS to convert. However, WAS throws an exception:

List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

My sample url is: http://win-7v2cj24h9bk:31835/_vti_history/1024/Lists/Docs/test/AFI-Doc1.docx

However, when I submit this url, WAS works just fine: http://win-7v2cj24h9bk:31835/Lists/Docs/test/AFI-Doc1.docx

Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer.

Answer 1

I'm not entirely familiar with WAS, but based on that test, I'd say that the past version needs to first be published as a major varsion then pushed to WAS.
