Acrobat Services API

I am building a power automate flow to take information submitted in a power app and create a pdf that can be sent for signatures. I keep getting Invalid Parameter errors when I get to the "Generate document from Word template" action. I have converted practically all my JSON to strings. After I parse the JSON in the flow, it all looks fine (see screenshot below). I use a compose action before the "Generate document from Word template" action because if I manually build the merge data, my nested data is not available. I am not finding much of this error so I'm not sure where to look to find where it is failing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi, First time using Adobe connector in Power Automate, I am trying to convert PDF to Word. I am getting a BadGateway error after waiting for 11 minutes. Any idea?  

Hi, I am planning on using PDF Extract for a commercial project, however, my customer is worried about sending their PDFs through API to a third party. Can you please tell me in what country the servers are geographically, and also if there is any on-premise solution to avoid sending sensible PDFs over the internet? Thanks.

Hello, I am getting SSLCertVerificationError while running the sample code given in the below link:https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/overview/pdf-extract-api/quickstarts/python/#step-three-creating-the-application Is there an option (in "pdfservices-sdk" package) to disable the disable SSL certificate verification temporarily? Basically, I am looking for an option similar to verify=False in requests library:response = requests.get('https://example.com ', verify=False) Thanks!

I am using the free 'trial' of PDF Services API in my project and I was hoping to add a usage subcommand to my CLI for bells and whistles, but I haven't found any way to fetch the number of used doc transactions/total left this month or anything like that. For me, it's not an essential feature as my tool doesn't process many documents, but it is still a very useful feature.

I signed up for Adobe PDF Exctract API and have a trial version client ID and cllient secret Keys.Is the trial version good upto 500 documents per month ? Will it reset the 500 document quota for next month automatically? Or will these API keys stop working after a month?

Ever since the Beta version self installed I have had trouble with standard verion of PS - I cannot bring in any images.  I get the "Could not complete your request because of a program error".  When I tap on the learn how to fix it tells me to roll back to a previous version which I did and it seemed to work for a while but then when I treid to update to the current version I am back to square one.  I am completely shut down without being able to use PS now.  PLEASE....any help out there.  I ran the graphics compatibility and it says I am - I have a newer computer with loads of power/memory etc... 

Hello, I just discovered the Photoshop api. Are any sample codes for calling the photoshop api with javascript? Just trying to get my head round this. Any assistance is much appreciated. Thanks.

Earlier this week I shared a blog post and summary of recent updates. Due to a miscommunication, some things were announced that were not quite ready yet. I apologize strongly for that. The blog post is updated (https://blog.developer.adobe.com/acrobat-services-updates-for-august-2023-3040fe7ae5fc) and should be correct now.   TLDR: * Electronic Seal updates * External file support

Hello, I'm facing some issues with rendering pdfs on mobile view/browsers, hoping to conult if there is any workaround. What I didI cloned from the React Sample here: https://github.com/adobe/pdf-embed-api-samples/tree/master/More%20Samples/React%20Samples Using my own sample pdf and importing it locally in the code, I got it embed mode: SIZED_CONTAINER to work on a responsive browser view in Chrome. (See attached image) Problems EncounteredHowever, when I switch to a mobile view on the developer's console, the Embed API broke with an error 'PREVIEW_RENDERING_FAILED' (See attached image)  I thought it might a chrome thing that it failed, so I loaded an emulator on Android Studio to check if I could replicate the same error, and it did. (See attached video link)https://youtube.com/shorts/qoolVAywRxQ  On another note, I've also run into a perculiar behavior when I change to a mobile dimension and refresh my page while I'm in the fullscreen mode. Up

The code I am using to generate an access token can be found here. It is written in Rust, but should be easy enough to follow for non-rustaceans here. The problem is that Adobe isn't returning a standard response, and also they are returning an error "invalid_target_scope" with description: "None of the requested scopes are both on the client and the binding.". I am planning on using the Adobe PDF extract API, but I am currently stuck. NOTE: I am using the "openid, AdobeID and DCAPI" scopes only.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Hi all Have set up a policy approvals flow for my organisation using Adobe's PDF Services free tier. Was a bit of a rigmarole to get the credentials in the first place - my first attempt only gave me three and I had to hunt around for the fourth and couldn't find the fifth at all. Then scrapped it and started again and got all the credentials straight away! However, was a bit dismayed to find that every staff member who needs to run the flow has to put all these credentials in. I know each person only has to do it once, but it is a very messy process for whenever a new person needs to publish a policy and it's done by members of different departments across the organisation. Is there any way around this? Many thanks

I probably need to make a blog post for this, but for folks using the new external file support (docs here, https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/overview/pdf-services-api/howtos/pdf-external-storage-sol/), keep in mind that you have two ways of using this:   1) Supply an external URL for input and output (this is probably what you expect) 2) Only supply an external URL for input (you probably didn't expect this to work, I didn't)   In the second case, we will store the output as an asset (ie, our temporary system) where you can then download it using a GET request.  

Hello, I'm struggling to embed a PDF on my Squarespace site. At first, I didn't have the right link to the pdf online and it showed 'script disabled', I then fixed that issue and a scroll-bar appeared, implying that there was now a connection to the PDF - however, it shows 'opening document' and buffering 0% and then fails to load. Any ideas? Here is my code: <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">document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){ var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "e

How does the Adobe PDF Extract API extract text from PDF (to go from PDF to CSV)?Does it naturally extract text from PDF and convert to CSV as if we were doing it ourself using Acrobat in Desktop? Or does it always try to use OCR and Sensei AI to extract and structure text?Basically, I am trying to understand how much reliance is on AI here versus Adobe's natural ability to convert a pdf into csv based on the actual text/characters.

Hello,We want to automate the proess to add script in PDF file using some PDF SDK or API. We want to add a field in PDF file  and execute Script to display today's date whenever  user open's file to print it.var theDate = new Date();theDate = theDate.setDate(theDate.getDate() + 28);this.getField("Today").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());this.getField("InOneMonth").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", theDate); Below article specifies the steps but we want to achive it through code / api integration. https://answers.acrobatusers.com/Insert-current-date-text-field-todays-date-todays-date-4-weeks-q300987.aspx  Thanks in advance. 

Hi, Apologies, bit of a newbie to this but trying to use the Adobe PDF Services to replace some functionality in a Power Automate flow that we were previously using Muhimbi for. It's basically a document approval process but later in the flow a table with the document's metadata is pulled out of a separate document (a Word doc) and appended to the end of the main document (a pdf doc). This screenshot from the original flow might give you a bit of an idea how it was working:  I'm trying to use the "Merge PDFs" connector to do the same sort of thing and thought I would just be able to put the content values from each document in as the file content - however got a file corruption error:  So then did some reading on these forums and thought I might need to use an array, so have given this a go but not having much success there either:   I know this latter issue is not strictly Adobe-related but why does it want the content value to be an array and n

I have purchased an adobe acrobat pro license , inspite of having unlimited conversions , i am getting only 500 pdf conversion per month . How to increase that volume? A faster solution would be appreciated.

We are working on  a automation using Power Automate where we have to add static and dynamic watermark Text in a PDF file which should be visible only when user tries to print the document. Example - [Category]Printed on: [DD/MM/YYYY] By:[Logged in User Name].Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

When I create a PDF of a web page that has google maps, the PDF doesn't render the map.  Is there a way to add wep page load delay to ensure the map is rendered correctly?

I want to edit the PDF File directly without any word file in between. I need to add images, text and more. Is that possible? 

This is an old blog post of mine, but I thought it might be of interest to developers here. You can use JavaScript to detect when part of the DOM is visible, and delay loading things (like PDF Embed) until that time. I explain how here: https://www.raymondcamden.com/2021/04/09/load-a-pdf-embed-when-visible

We haven't made any changes to our use of Adobe PDF viewer in a few weeks, and today we have this issue where the PDF will load including all its pages, but you can't see whats on the pages as the text is all white.  You can use the download function and open the PDF and that version of the PDF looks normal.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?  It only affects certain PDFs but we can't seem to find anything in common with the affected PDFs.

I am on the free tier of the API service working on a POC for my company. I have successfully uploaded a Word document using the asset REST API service. I have also used the document generation service REST API to generate a pdf by merging the JSON object and the templetized Word doc. Questions:Is there a way to access the "Internal Adobe Storage" to view the uploaded documents?Can we run the document generation API on an existing doucment that lives on the our "personal" adobe cloud storage?What is the the time to live for the links containing the generated document given by the document generation REST API service? I am trying to figure out if I need to invoke a document generation merge everytime a user wants to view a documents because the asset links might expire over time.
