Acrobat Services API

  We're excited to announce new, expanded capabilities for document services in what we're calling PDF Tools API. This rebranding from Document Cloud Services SDK provides better alignment with the underlying cloud-based API technology and functionality.   In April, we announced an initial set of features to programmatically manipulate documents for HTML to PDF conversion, combining multiple pages from PDF documents, conversion from PDF to MS Office formats, and much more.   Here's what's new We have released additional services to compress, linearize, and password-protect PDF documents. There are also capabilities to insert, reorder, rotate, replace, and delete pages within documents.  With these new web services, you have expanded possibilities to convert manual processes to automate many different types of document workflows. You can easily create a PDF from a dynamic HTML report, set a password to prevent unauthorized opening of the document, and compress it for

hi! I'm still learning on how to use the view sdk. however, I've encountered a problem.Everytime when I want to switch the embedMode, I have to create a new view object in my js script to have it work properly, otherwise. the config will just be screwed up and the embed mode switch will be looking weird. so I just wanna ask here, do we need to create a new view everytime we want to change the embedMode? or is it possible to just:viewobj.previewFile({ content: {...}, metaData: {...}, }, {embedMode:"anything I want"});change it like this and have everything work correctly? because I couldn't get it working. 

I'm having issues with consitency when converting html to pdf. Depending on how much data is being sent, every element in the pdf will be bigger/smaller (ex. The same image and title will be different sizes on the title page). This is happening despite having the same css properties. If there is less data, everything in the document will be bigger. The other issue is that the pageLayout.setPageSize seems like the parameters are backwords. The example shows that setPageSize(8, 11.5) will create a portrait view, but for me it's the opposite 11.5, 8 that does. Changing this field is also affecting how large the elements are on the page.  The html versions are always identical in font/element size. It's just the pdf versions that are off when the amount of data being rednered is different.

Can I have a link to a how-to insert and add the document to the embed code for dummies?  I have my credentials, I have the document, I have the sample embed code, I have placed my credentials...Now what???

Hi,is it possible to load files from Google Drive? I've tried "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=FILE_ID" as input url (which is working for src for an iframe) but I get "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://drive.google.com/uc?id=FILE_ID. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing)"Is there a way araound this?Thanks

Hi folks, was happy to find this capability this morning.  I was set up in a few minutes, and at first glance everything worked fine. Until:I tried to embed two PDFs on the same page.  I'm using a SIZED_CONTAINER and want to be able to have more than one PDF previewed on a page.  This doesn't seem to work, unless I'm missing something?I tried to use it on mobile.  The size of the box is fine, but when I go full-screen (iOS.latest) something odd happens.  The 250x250 box that was previewing doesn't change size.  The content behind it does.  So, I'm stuck viewing full-screen content within a 250x250 window. Appreciate a little help on what I'm doing wrong.  These things seem like they should be doable.  Thanks!

Hi,Is it possible to change the default  stroke width of the Free hand drawing that they are always for example at 1pt instead of 3pt? Thanks

What is DC Services SDK? Is it an API? How to use it to make my own application? I downloaded the sample code from Get Started section. I want to use it to generate PDF from Static HTML zip. When I run the sample, it converts input files which is located in the resources folder. I changed the code of CreatePDFFromStaticHTML.java, which has a main method, to take input and packaged it. When I run it, it says no main manifest attribute available. It's been more than 5 days (continuous) and I am still stuck and frustrated. Please Help Me With This.- A Novice Enthusiastic Developer

patients is great.

I have code that that needs to render PDFs to Images (PNG).  We are currently using AEM SOAP calls to do this. This is the only thing we are using AEM for. Because AEM is a large product and we are not utilizing it, we thought that we could render the PDFs with API calls. This works for most of our PDFs but a few are not rendering properly. The problematic PDFs render as a single page with text that reads, “Please wait… If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document”. My research tells me that these are probably dynamic XFA forms. Do you have an API that can flatten these files so they can be rendered properly?

I want to understand how students interact with an educational PDF that relies on internal links. I can send HTTP post requests for page changes using PAGE_VIEW. Is it possible to do something similar with internal links.I want to understand at an individual student level what their flow through the document is- how much time do they spend on each page? Do they click the links? Where do they go next?Thanks for your help.

What if I want to render with a sized container? How will I know the dimensions for user provided pdfs? I like the single page rendering of this view but I need to dynamically size it since user's upload pdf  with page in both portrait and landscape orientation.   

We have integrated View SDK into our application and it is working fine. I have referred the "Form Handling" section in View SDK documentation. We are planing to integrate this feature as well. I have query regarding "Forms Handling",  can we implement to fill the relevant information from our system.For example, if user enters there name then can get their address from our system where both name and address are stored and display into PDF form.Please advice how we can implement this feature in your Adobe SDK?

When I emabed a PDF which contains 3D model in a web page the 3D could not be displayed as the autoplay of 3D content in PDFs is disabled by default. There is no option to enable it on web page. In SDK is there any way(an api to call) to enable the content or trust the document.

There are limitations menitoned under mobile support. Any plans to overcome those in the coming releases ?

Is there any plan to support for the scenarios like below. 

Hi!, I am using the PDF viewer SDK API to load PDF files on my website and with one in particular I get this:And no load, if press 'ok' never just charge.I attach the PDF with which it happens to me to see if you can help me to know why it happens. Regards!   

I would like to use View SDK to present PDFs on an educaion website and would like to hide the Adobe logo on the controls.  Is there a license fee or something that allows that to be hidden? 

Webflow has a standard "embedd HTML code editor". I copied the code generated when clicking "generate code" within the Adobe Document Cloud SDK and pasted it into the webflow HTML code editor but nothing is presented. It's just blank when I publish my site.

I am looking for a high-quality PDF text extraction service which, given a PDF, will return JSON/String with the text inside the PDF.  Ideally, the result should not contain only text, but also include any images/graphs/columns/tables being detected. Google, ABBYY, and others provide similar services but I assume that in case Adobe has this functionality, it would be superior to any other competitor.  If this capability is not present, are you planning to introduce it any time soon? 

So I'm currently building a website that uses View SDK to preview PDFs in-line.Some of these PDFs contain sensitive information though and I've password-protected them at the file level.This works as expected.  But I've noticed that if I navigate away from the file (load the "adobe-dc-view" div with another PDF) and then return to password-protected file later, I'll be prompted for the password again.  Eg. I am wondering if there's a way for the Adobe View Previewer to somehow "remember" that credentials have already been provided?  That way, once the user gives the password once, s/he never needs to do so again. Furthermore-- What are my options in the Adobe ecosystem if I'm interested in setting up my website so a user can login once and then view all PDFs that s/he is authorized to view?  In other words-- I don't want to apply password protection at the file-level.  Instead, I want to set up some sort of "sitewide, organization-authentication/
