Acrobat Services API

For certain sets of documents, I’ve been encountering a GatewayTimeout error during the merge process.The previous steps, where the documents are collected into an array, complete successfully. However, the merging step consistently fails with the GatewayTimeout error.We are subscribed to the 75k document transaction pack, and we expect this process to run smoothly without disrupting our daily operations.

Hello Community and Adobe Support Team,I am currently using the Adobe PDF Services API (specifically the "Extract PDF" operation) in my application and am receiving a QUOTA_EXCEEDED error. My current monthly quota of 50 transactions has been exhausted.This API functionality is business-critical for our application, as it is essential for extracting images from PDF documents for our customer processes. Since the quota was exceeded, we are no longer able to offer these vital functions, which leads to significant operational limitations.Due to the sharply increasing needs of my users, it is urgently necessary to significantly increase the monthly quota for this API as soon as possible.Could you please immediately inform me of the steps I need to take to request a fast quota increase for the "Extract PDF" operation of the Adobe PDF Services API? Are there specific contact forms or processes for such urgent requests?We depend on a timely solution to be able to fully offer our services again

I can view them in Acrobat there are no restrictions or passwords. I can also merge the PDFs with the Edge browser. Is there another protection I should be looking out for? For context the documents that always fail are university transcripts. 

Hello all,I'm trying to simply Merge an array of 3 dynamic PDFs from Sharepoint, but when it comes to the Adobe Merge PDFs action, it simply stalls out and does not work - what am I doing wrong? Any guidance here would be very much so appreciated! I've been following these two resources:https://blog.developer.adobe.com/merging-documents-using-microsoft-power-automate-69a68e46081bhttps://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-services-api-discussions/merge-pdf-power-automate/m-p/14347140to no avail, sadly.

I have researched this error everywhere.  I am using this https://pdf-services.adobe.io/assets to get the ready made uri for the call to AWS.  If I issue this in postman I get a 200.  If I take the exact same approach in code, I get the error listed in the title and a 403 error.  I am using a PUT, and as far as I can tell everything else is identical.  If I change one character of the signature in postman call I get exact same error.  Please help this is frustrating! <Error><Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code><Message>The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided.

Amazon Marketplace informed us that we went over budget on April 2026 on PDF Services API.According to AWS we made over 60,000 Units (MP:Doc_Transactions-Units) on that month and racked up $3,000 in charges for PDF Services API.This is not an insignificant amount of money were talking about, so I think some actual help from Adobe is warranted.Please contact me: matias.ruiz@fastiep.com

Amazon Marketplace informed me I went over budget on May 23rd on Acrobat Services API. I usually have a ~$5.00 montly bill for document OCR that is integrated into one of my personal utilities.  According to AWS I made over 40,000 calls on that day alone and racked up $2200 in charges for Acrobat Services API.   First thing I do is go check the logs on my utility that uses this integration to see if something has gone terribly haywire.. Nothing. It actually hasn't been invoked in weeks (normal). Next up I open a ticket on AWS, and the head over to Adobe support. After going round and round with chat agents, you find out that they are not trained in API at all.. As far as the chat agents were concerned, I didn't even have an account.  In the end, the guy just told me to take it up with Amazon, and they would issue a refund.. Now another day has gone by and Amazon has responded to the ticket I opened there, and (spoiler alert).. they say it's not their

Submitted pricing request a few weeks ago, have not heard back. I see in the forum here that it’s a somewhat common occurrence. I noticed a reseller has offered to help - have any of you successfully worked with them (and if so, how does pricing look vs. Adobe direct)?

We have a production issue this morning and a current outage of certain characters not rendering when getting the document back from the Adobe PDF Generation API. The image looks like characters are missing, but if you copy and paste, they are all there (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). It seems like you are not rendering the characters on your side (Font issue maybe). We haven’t made any changes to the templates being sent in, this is happening for any word document we send in to convert to a PDF. Again, some of these templates we have used for years with no problem up until today. This is urgent, please help! This is happening even after you marked the major issue for today as resolved: Adobe System Status

Hello, We have been using Acrobat PDF services, especially OCR PDF and PDF to DOCX on free tier, our usage have been increasing and we urgently need to get on paid subscription.I have reached out to sales multiple times via filling the form below, however there is absolutely no respnse.https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/pricing/contact/sales/ Would really really appreciate some help here.

As few (many?) of us have experienced, my inquiry to the sales service has never got any response so far.My company needs a higher monthly document transactions volume than what the free tier plan includes. Thus, I sent a quote request through the Contact Sales form on 27 March (email address: adobe@menant-benjamin.fr).Could someone at Adobe could kindly come back to us?Thank you,Benjamin.

While using the PDF Embed API, we found that some APIs have been deprecated by your company, which caused certain features we implemented based on the deprecated APIs to stop working. So I’d like to know: can we use a specific version of the API, so that our project won’t be impacted by your upgrades?One more question: if we use the One more question: if we use the “Push to production” feature, can it resolve the issue we’re facing? 

I used Claude.AI to troubleshoot, here is the feedback:Adobe Extract PDF API is silently dropping pages from this 94-page PDF. The text is fine. There's no difference in text format or layout between the missed and found contracts — pdftotext extracts them identically. So the common thread isn't about the content, it's about which pages Adobe Extract chose to skip. — pdftotext extracts every contract perfectly. Adobe just doesn't return text elements for certain pages, so the workflow never sees those Contract IDs.The input PDF has 94 pages with 52 unique contracts All 20 missing contracts have Contract ID: NNNNNNN in identical format to the 32 that succeeded — there's no text/regex issue Every page has a footer: Affidavit: Page X of Y (that's the numbering you mentioned) 18 of 20 missing contracts are single-page (Page 1 of 1) Pages 1-6 are ALL missing — the first 6 contracts were entirely skipped The remaining missing contracts are scattered (pages 21, 29, 48-55, 74-75, 77, 84, 94)

Hi, Have not been contacted by sales even though a week has passed. Is there anyone from Adobe that can help me to accelerate this?  Kind regards,Abyl

We have been using the PDF Services API to convert MS Office files into PDFs for over a year. We subscribed through AWS Marketplace, and the service has been working without any issues.However, we’ve noticed that we have not been billed at all during this time, even though in some months we have made more than 500 API calls. This seems unusual, so we’re wondering if there might be any issue with billing or with the data integration between the service and AWS.Could someone from the Adobe team check if everything is configured correctly on their side?
