Acrobat Services API

Hi We have been getting no PDF processing of .xls files for the last week - spotted 02/September/2025.I can generate a token, assigned an upload URI, receive a location, and upload the xls successfully.Monitoring the process returns "in progress" until default time-out of 10min.So, the file goes up but isn't coming down.I can only assume the issue lies on Adobe's side of the fence. I have tried the following endpoints:https://pdf-services.adobe.io https://pdf-services-ue1.adobe.io https://pdf-services-ew1.adobe.io   We are on Free Tier and have used only 51/500 transactions this month.I notice that the storage points are hosted by AWS. Is this a factor?I check the Status dashboard constantly but always shows everthing is ok.Is anyone else having this problem? RegardsAlistair

Hi Community members,I am exploring the pdf OCR and EXTRACT APIs ( OCR, EXTRACT  )I have a Scanned pdf so to make it editable i applied the OCR and then for the pdf style and content information i am using the Extract API ( Extract Text and Tables and Character Bounding Boxes (w/ Renditions) ) I have used this api into node like below const params = new ExtractPDFParams({ elementsToExtract: [ExtractElementType.TEXT, ExtractElementType.TABLES], addCharInfo: true });But the JSON which is extracted contains some extra info like added some attributes (boxes into the elements) but if you look into the original pdf then there are no boxes then why those added?

Hi ,  I am trying to create a pdf template which would be used to generate pdf files based on a web app and data parsed though that web app. I have manaed to generate it via an API call.I am now facing issue where in the need is to hide the fillable fields and labels if my payload does not contain that information to be parsed into the template. For Example. First Name : Middle Name : Last Name :  If I do not pass the Middle Name field value, that field as well as the label should not appear in the pdf created. It should be like : First Name :  Last Name :  

I use Adobe PDF Services API (Document Generation API) from November 2023 with success, but today when generating document the status is "in progress" and never changes.My flow is:I call POST https://pdf-services-ew1.adobe.io/assets and response is ok. I receive assetID and uploadUrithen I upload my docx template file by calling PUT to uploadUri this also ends up with status code 200then I call POST https://pdf-services-ew1.adobe.io/operation/documentgeneration and this ends up with correct response where I receive `location` header with urlBut the thing is that when I call this url the response is `{"status": "in progress"}` and never changes.Since all was working fine for almost 2 years and nothing was changed in flow on my side I assume there that maybe you face some issues on your side? I would be grateful for any information

Guys,I see that more then two hundred OCR jobs have been stuck in progress status since yesterday late evening. Is it anyway to restart the such jobs. I have tried to resend those jobs but it does not help, the list of jobs in progress is increasing. My thinking is that the issue with the service which happened recently is not fully sorted out.   

Hi, we are testing the adobe autotagging API with a few specific documents containing tables, images, links and general text elements. Normally we are getting quite ok results with links, paragraphs and headings, but with tables there is a specific issue where the same document passed through the API is generating different outputs in terms of table tagging. The same document sometimes has correct tagging (Added TH), and when the document is passed again through the tool (the original one, not the alreeady tagged one), the output is different. Bellow the example: Same table, new document iteration,  without table header  Any idea on how to enusure that the correct version of autottaged document is obtained when passing the document ot the API? Is it possible? Let me add that the document does not have the tags when adding the document to the API as the tool were we are generating the document (Crystal Reports) does not add any tags to the created PDF.

I get credentials for PDF Services API and download personalized project samples. Then I create project in Adobe Developer Console and generate credentials for PDF Services API for that project. Sample project work correctly with both of credentials, but Usage Report for PDF Services API generate result only for credentials that i received with project samples.

As of  10:22AM we have been getting error 504 using the Adobe Connector via Microsoft-pa-integration. I cannot see any issues on the Status page, apart from one yesterday.

I am using the PDF Services SDK to convert PDF to Word, but I’ve run into an issue: after conversion, the fonts in the Word document are replaced with Trebuchet MS. The original PDF uses the fonts Effra Light and Effra Medium. The environment where the conversion takes place already has these fonts installed. The fonts themselves are embedded in the PDF. Is there a way to ensure a correct conversion that preserves the original fonts?

Hello all! Iused adobe extract pdf API service to parse a pdf. Pdf and output JSON is attached to this message.  I believe the Json output doesn't preserve the table structure. If I pass this data to an LLM, it is not able to answer relevant questions about this data as the table structure is not preserved. How should I go about this? I want to use adobe API to build a RAG application. Is there a way to preserve the table structure within the Json file? for example, I need outputs such as like this:{"Input (DC)":{ "MVPS 4000-S2": null, "MVPS 4200-S2": null}, "Available inverters": {"MVPS 4000-S2": "1 x SCS 3450 UP or 1 x SCS 3450 UP-XT","MVPS 4200-S2": "1 x SCS 3600 UP or 1 x SCS 3600 UP-XT"}, "Max. input voltage": {"MVPS 4000-S2": "1500 V","MVPS 4200-S2": "1500 V"}, "Number of DC inputs": {"MVPS 4000-S2": "dependent on the selected inverters","MVPS 4200-S2": null}, "Integrated zone monitoring": {"MVPS 4000-S2": "○","MVPS 4200-S2": null}, "Available DC fus

I am new to using the Webhook CALLBACK feature and I am wondering if it is possible to have the HTTP request in my Azure Logic App, wait for the CALLBACK so that i can continue processing the file.For example, I am looping over an array of images and converting to PDF's.  I then need to combine the results into a single doument using Merge.  Setting up another App to recieve the CALLBACK is not really a convenient option.   I have been polling the endpoint but I thought the CALLBACK was supposed to eliminate polling.  

Document Generation API is easy to use, but producing the desired layout requires knowledge of Microsoft Word, JSON, and JSONata. To help with that, I've created the Document Generation Cookbook.    The cookbook includes several "recipes" (a Word template and JSON data file) that demonstrate how to utilize JSONata in various scenarios, such as formatting numbers and dates, filtering data, and performing basic math operations in tables.    The cookbook is a public Git repo and is free. I'll be adding new recipes as time permits. Feel free to make requests and I'll do my best to add a recipe to meet your needs.

I am trying to use the Adobe PDF Services API for Document Generation.I have already set up my credentials in the Adobe Developer Console (OAuth Server-to-Server integration, PDF Services API is enabled).What I am doing:Endpoint:POST https://pdf-services.adobe.io/operation/documentgenerationHeaders:Authorization: Bearer <access_token>x-api-key: <client_id_from_console>Content-Type: application/jsonBody (raw JSON):{  "outputFormat": "docx",  "templateContent": "<base64 encoded docx file here>",  "jsonDataForMerge": {    "Table1": [      { "Col1": "AAA", "Col2": "Married", "Col3": "50000" },      { "Col1": "BBB",  "Col2": "Married", "Col3": "100000" }    ]  }}Problem:Every request fails with status 400 error:{"error":{"code":"UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION","message":"Unsupported Operation."}} Notes:The access token is valid (

Hello,I am using the EMBED PDF API to dynamically load annotations created by the same API. Everything works fine up to a certain point, around 190 annotations. After that, an error message appears indicating a failure, but without any detailed log.I tried loading page by page, without success (it doesn’t seem to be an RPM issue).Should I consider switching to a paid plan?Thank you for your help.

Hello!I've been using the Adobe PDF connector without issues until recently, but now I'm unable to add or edit actions. When I try to add an action, I receive the following error message:"ERR_BAD_RESPONSE. Request failed with status code 500"Additionally, this month I reached 80% of the 500 monthly transaction limit for the first time.Could this be related to the issue? Any help or insights would be appreciated! 

Hi.On the desktop version of Adobe, a banner is shown at the top of signed files.Is it also possible to display the digital signature banner when viewing a signed PDF on the web with the Adobe Embed API?

We are currently using embedMode as "FULL_WINDOW" with ui configs showPageControls,showZoomControl,etc set as false, still sidepanel is present. As we already have created custom toolbar, we want to hide the one coming from Adobe services Out of all embedMode, "SIZED_CONTAINER" seems to have least ui configs and it has ui most similar to our requirement but pdf pages within this mode are not scrollable As a workaround we used clip-path css property to visually hide it from user, but with tab navigation from keyboard along with links in buttons from sidepanel are also accessible. Is there a way to hide sidepanel?

The PDF extract API extracts info of different elements from a pdf an forms a JSON for it. Is there a reverse API available, which accepts the JSON in the same format as extracted above and creates a PDF using it? I am trying to replace the original text with a different text here. If not, how to create a pdf from the JSON available.

I have some questions about PDF UA and the Auto-tag API / Accessibility checker.  Does the Auto-tag API set the PDF UA document property (in any situation)? Do any of the Acrobat Services APIs set the PDF UA document property? Is there any connection between the PDF UA document property and the actual accessibility of the PDF or is it just a flag to indicate the document should be accessible? Does the Accessibility Checker report on whether the document is PDF UA compliant? AFAICT, it doesn't. Thanks,Jeff

Using the Embed API in Light Box mode and using the viewerConfig to set the ExitPDFViewerType button customization to 'Return' (rather than the default 'Close'); The return button has no margin/padding on the left side.This is clearly an error/bug as the images for that customization feature in the API documentation does show the correct spacing on the left-hand side (see attached image).Adobe bugfix required, as the Light Box embed option is an iframe so I can't use CSS or custom JS to add the correct padding.
