PDF to Excel | PDF Services API | PDF Embed

I have PDF's coming in and they're all exactly the same format. "First Name" and then their name is printed directly under it- same for all data in 1-4 columns per row. I successfully used Adobe Extract API to extract a JSON file with the data but I don't know how to select the data and move it to the right column in an existing excel file.  Adobe's "see how easy it is" marketing strategy has proven not so easy. So, what I would like is someone to point me in the right direction for this workflow:1) User uploads 1 or more PDF files from their web portal into MyPHP Admin SQL database.2) Files names are changed to coresponding client's ID number + doc type + date (ex. 1234567-receipt-20230205).3) Adobe API is automatically triggered to parse and passes the data into a row in an existing google sheets doc and uploaded to SQL database.(next task)4) Data is inserted into new PDF template and saved in users profile so they can print it out.  I'm running a linux server so

Is there a way to purchase Adobe PDF Services API directly from Adobe without AWS marketplace

As per the following document, https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/pricing/#main, PDF services API needs to be purchased from AWS marketplace. I am trying to purchase the pay-as-you-go option for the PDF services, which allows my Power Automate Flows to use the services to create PDF documents from MS Word programmatically (as mentioned in this URL: Adobe PDF Services connector for Microsoft Power Automate ). I have created a trial account directly from Adobe and using the services for the time being, now I want to purchase it, but not seeing an option to do so directly from the Adobe account I have created earlier. Is there any option to purchase PDF services directly from Adobe, without having to go through AWS? I do not have an AWS account, nor wish to setup one without any other reason but to use the PDF services alone. I have tried chatting with the sales team but they couldn't provide a direct answer. I will be very surprised if the services are avai

What is the difference between PDF Services API and the Acrobat Sign API?

We would like to use the PDF Services APIs to manipulate and extract PDF data through a web application. I understand the only way to trial the APIs is to use a personal Adobe account, and the pay-as-you-go requires purchasing from the AWS Marketplace.I spoke with my Adobe account rep who seems to be pushing us toward Acrobat Sign. I understand the Acrobat Sign API works complimentary with the PDF Services, but it appears to be its own thing and requires a separate Developer Account. I'm assuming the PDF Services APIs are not included with the Sign API and I can't tell if  its free to use or also pay-as-you-go. I don't think we would use the Sign API anyway.As the admin of our Adobe account, is there anything I need to do through our Admin Console to provide access to the APIs, or is this completely separate from our other CC and Acrobat licensing? Thanks!

Getting "The provided token is malformed or otherwise invalid"

I followed the .Net example for "ExportPdfToDocx" using the Adobe.PDFServiceSDK. It throw the "The provided token is malformed or otherwise invalid" when calling exportPdfOperation.Excute(executionContext). Code snipple:Credentials credentials = Credentials.ServiceAccountCredentialsBuilder() .FromFile(@"..\pdfservices-api-credentials.json") .Build(); //Create an ExecutionContext using credentials and create a new operation instance.

PDF Extract API produces issues within text strings when encountering apostrophes

Hi there, I've noticed that the PDF Extract API is sometimes returning strings that contain issues. When comparing with the original PDF, this only seems to occur when there is an apostrophe in the text. It looks like it is replacing the words around the apostrophe with non printable characters.I can't just filter out these characters because I'll still be missing the words that were replaced.Is there a way to solve this issue? Note: My PDF is not an image or scan; it was saved from Microsoft Word. I can copy and paste the proper text directly from the PDF using Preview for Mac. e.g. from file 1 - "...prior written approval of the Principal\ue202\x9c1\ue014\x8e\x99\x9b\x8e\x9c\x8e\x97\x9d\x8a\x9d\x92\x9f\x8eï (b) Upon request..."[original text from file 1] - "...prior written approval of the Principal's Representative (b) Upon request..." e.g. from file 2 - "...in respect of *ROG)LHOGVULJKWV under clause..."[original text from file 2] - "...in respect

Why Adobe PDF Embed API are so slow on mobile?

I tried every possible configuration, Adobe PDF Embed API run super fast on desktop but very slow on mobile, even on high end android devices. This problem is since from the beginning, is not related to new 2023 API.Here there are 2 links for a small catalogue and a big one, performance is really bad on both just on mobile.
