Zoom / FIT_WIDTH in Sized Container mode

Hi All,We're using the embedded control to display PDF documents that are attached to records in our system, such that the viewer is shown on our page in conjunction with other controls and information.Therefore, we're using Sized Container mode. As fantastic as the control is, we're seeing an inability to control either the zoom level of the document, or being able to set the defaultViewMode to FIT_WIDTH if the embedMode is SIZED_CONTAINER. The end result is that we have a skinny document with lots of whitespace on either side, and the document is hard to read. What we're trying to figure out is if there is a way to have the document zoomed in by default, or at least allow the user to zoom in and out.I've checked the other embedModes - none of the others is really suitable as our UI involves people looking at the document and working with other controls on the same page.I've check the API documentation, and I can see the ability to get the current page zoom (getPageZoom

Document Cloud "PDF Embed API" Error: "API Configuration failed"

Hello,I have created multiple Projects within the Adobe Developer Console in order to create new API Keys for the "PDF Embed API" for my company's client websites. While I have been able to create multiple Projects and ultimately able to create multiple API Keys for each of the separate environments, I am now completely unable to create new API Keys. Each time I attempt to enter a new URL for the PDF Embed API to generate the API Key for the project, I am met with the error "API Configuration failed. Please try again." While I have several examples of this process working successfully, now I am unable to create any additional API Keys and I was unable to obtain any assistance through the Contact Us Chat and Phone options. Any assistance directly from Adobe would be appreciated here. Those API Keys that have been generated successfully are working fine and without issue. My need now is the ability to continue creating new API Keys for the remaining projects.

embedding PDF from document cloud using view sdk., but pdf fails to load in my website

So I have got my domain setup with a client ID, used sample code from the quickstart copy-it-run-it page. The only thing I am changing in the code (that works just fine from my local machine with the sample Bodea Brochure or Benchmark pdf files) is the URL to my document cloud PDF, the pdf fileName, and the clientId (api key).{location: {url: "https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:a71b7f93-830a-4a23-ba33-246ae31db4e7/EmployeeHandbook_compressed.pdf"}}, metaData: {fileName: "EmployeeHandbook_compressed.pdf"}Note that in the above sample - for the shareable link I generate in document cloud, it doesn't actually have a /EmployeeHandbook_compressed.pdf at the end, but from what I have seen it looks like that is supposed to be attached to the end.Got my code on my website, and it looks like it will bring the adobe viewer up, but instead it gives me an adobe error like file preview error or failed to load. It will sit with the spinning blue circle and say

New PDF Tools API brings more capabilities for Document Services

  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

Rendering issues when converting from html to pdf

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.

Challenges with View SDK

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!
