Document data privacy for PDF Embed API

Hi there. I'm experimenting with the PDF Embed API for a document portal that we maintain for clients. Many of the PDFs have sensitive information that we need to understand whether the data is being sent to remote servers even temporarily for rendering purposes. Is there a document that outlines whether and how the PDF embed API does or doesn't send data to remote servers during the rendering process? I see a bunch of blob: entries in the browser network log, but I understand those to be local accesses. I saw in the press release what seems to indicate that rendering is all done client-side, but wanted to see if there was any more detail documented somewhere. Thanks!

Problems Loading the Embed API on my website.

I used this code to embed a pdf viewer on my website, but none of the pdfs I've tried show. I tested with the Document Services PDF Embed API Demo and when I open the file there it opens. However, when I try to use it on the website, it doesn't load. I keep receiving the error "File preview error. File preview not available, please reload to try again." Here's the code I used  <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Adobe Document Services PDF Embed API Sample</title> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" /> <meta id="viewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> </head> <body style="margin: 0px"> <div id="adobe-dc-view"></div> <script src="https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk/main.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript

PDF Embed API - can't get form to be editable

New to the PDF Embed API, and happy to get it working to the point where the form is rendering nicely on my webpage, but the form isn't editable, i.e. form fields can't be typed in, but the documentation says this should be enabled by default. I've tried adding { enableFormFilling: true } to the configuration, but it didn't help. If i open the PDF from the URL straight into Chrome, i can edit the form, what am i missing? Thanks!

PDF Embed API - insert image?

Is it possible to insert an image into a PDF using the PDF Embed API? For example if a form requires a picture of the user to be added, can we add that? Doesn't seem that far off from free hand scibble annotation, but can't seem to find anything in documentation... Thanks!

Programmatically set thickness of drawing tool

I am using Adobe Embed API and I would like to change the thickness (and also the color) of the output of the drawing tool. Using a SET_USER_SETTINGS_API callback, I received an object annotationTooltipShownMap: {freetext:  falsehighlight: falsenote: falseshape: falsestrikeout: falseunderline: false}However, I cannot find the parameters I need to give to the GET_USER_SETTINGS_API callback in order to change the thickness and color of the drawing tool. I would also be very glad for a link that discusses the parameters for these APIs.  Thanks!

Issue with very slow rendering speed

I made a slight modification to our app and the time taken to open a PDF and render the first page went from 6s to over 20s.So basically this is opening a specific PDF containing 6 pages, with the Viewer set to a fixed height and varying the width, the PDF is set to display as FitFullPage which works out to be scaled at 81% and results in the displayed size of a page to be 393px by 696px in all the scenarios below.In scenario 1 the Viewer is constrained to a width of 800px, thats still wider than the scaled image, there is a grey border area either side of the PDF image, it takes about 6s to open.In scenario 2 the Viewer is constrained  to a width of 1600px, nothing else changes, time to open is 11sIn scenario 3 the viewer is constrained to a width of 2400px, time to open is now 22s.Note in all 3 cases the vertical height is unchanged and the displayed size of the PDF is the same 393px by 696px in all 3 cases, the only change is width of the 'grey areas' either side of the PDF whe

Questions

Render complete event?

The PDF Embed API seem to use  a sort of lazy rendering, for example if you zoom a page and then scroll to another page you may just get a blurry upscaled version of the page and then after a time it renders the page again and it snaps back to being a sharp image, similar on load if you scroll the page can be initially blank until it renders.Unfortunately I can't see there is any event so say that rendering is now complete. Use case for this is that users staring at a blurred or blank screen for a while tend to complain, and also specifically in our case the user is meant to be reviewing the PDF and not aware the blurred page is just temporarily while waiting to render the page.  The event would be useful so we could display some spinner to notify the user tha app is currently busy rendering.TIARob

adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready

Is there some property that can be checked to see if the sdk is ready rather than listening for the event. Would just checking for the existence of  adobeDCView be enough?Reason for this is because of the way our app is constructed the sdk gets loaded and completes before the code that attaches the listener, so it never hears the event.  ThanksRob

APP_RENDERING_FAILED

Is this the right place for a Feature Request 🙂If a pdf fails to load/render an event type 'APP_RENDERING_FAILED' is fired but there is no indication of why it failed.It would be useful to at least know if it failed becuase the file wasn't found or access was denied or it was corrupt and failed to parse/render.This would help support to deal with users. TIARob
