KB289703948: Hotfix 201911053 for Automation Engine 18.1.1

Summary

The Apply PDF Action List task may in specific circumstances (involving an action converting ArtPro file to PDF+) error out where it only used to warn in older versions.

Symptoms

When an ArtPro file that contains placed, not normalized PDFs, is converted to normalized PDF by running an "Apply PDF Action List" task, this is not longer possible and the task generates an error.
In older Automation Engine versions and also in ArtPro+,this was still possible (although the task ended with a warning).
