Acrobat Services API

Our frontend application is built with Vue.js, and we're using Laravel as the API processor. The workflow involves vendors sharing engineering designs in PDF format. Currently, we use Adobe Acrobat Pro for Teams under a free trial license.The current process is as follows:A user downloads the PDF document, opens it in Adobe Acrobat, and shares it with other users. These users then access the shared document via the web version of Adobe Acrobat on Adobe Creative Cloud, where they can add comments or use freehand drawing tools. Finally, the original user downloads the updated document and uploads it to our web application.1. We would like to know if there is an existing API—or if one can be provided on request—that can retrieve a list of distinct commenters (in cases where there is more than one) along with the datetime of their most recent comment.2. Is it possible to upload a document to Adobe Creative Cloud and share it programmatically using an API? This would help streamline th

I'm trying to embed the pdf in sized container. I have observed the Download option is coming for Andriod but not for iOS. I have checked the Demo page and i can observe the Download option is not coming if i choose iPhone X device.  

If my JSON contains null values (see sample below) how do I use that in a conditional test?I've tried several combinations but none have the results I want - see attached Word document and sample PDF output.  {"FirstName": "Joe","LastName": "Bloggs","Address": "1 Acme Drive London SW15 2RQ United Kingdom","PolicyNumber": "1234456","Premium": "$344.50","PaymentMethod": "Credit Card ending 2345","PolicyStartDate": "2 April 2022","PolicyEndDate": "1 April 2023","Coverage": [{"TreatmentName": "Crown re-cement","TreatmentType": "Major","IntervalPeriod": 12,"Quantity": 1,"PerTooth": "Not Applicable","Coverage": 50,"MaximumCover": null},{"TreatmentName": "Dental Implant Treatment","TreatmentType": "Other","IntervalPeriod": 12,"Quantity": null,"PerTooth": "Not Applicable","Coverage": 100,"MaximumCover": "$2,000.00"}]}

Inside a Word template file I am trying to iterate through a JSON array to show property images. I am experiencing a glitch where the placeholder image is being replaced, but it is not looping through each image; it is repeating the first image in the array. I have the following code set in the Alt Text of the placeholder image:{"location-path": "url","image-props": {"alt-text": "Property Photos"}} In the template file I have: {% repeating-section SubjectProperty.PropertyPhotos %}{{ url }}{% end-section %} I added the url variable inside the loop just to confirm it is looping through the array. As you can see, it is only showing the first image in the array, while the urls are correct. This is the output:  I have scoured forums and followed different examples advised to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to implement an Azure Logic App that will combine files into a single PDF using Adobe PDF Services API.Supposedly, the API can connect directly to documents in my Dropbox.  External Storage for Adobe PDF Services APIsAdobe PDF Services APIs have added support for accessing files from the external  storage of the client directly. The client can invoke the PDF Services API with Signed URLs and files will be automatically accessed from their storage.A Signed URL temporarily provides access to a resource. Signed URLs contain user/authentication information, allowing users without credentials to access the given resource.PDF Services APIs supports the signed URLs of input and output files in the request body. Please refer to the External Section in Request Body of each API for more details. DropboxPDF Services APIs can connect with Dropbox using Signed URIs for downloading and uploading the files from Dropbox location without the need for any creden

Hi,About half an hour ago, while calling the Adobe PDF Services API, I started receiving the following error during the HTML-to-PDF conversion process:  2025-04-30T08:41:44.357Z ERROR [...] Failure response code 400 encountered from backend com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.exception.ServiceApiException: description='Invalid job id present in path param'; requestTrackingId='38647953-a2ca-48a2-8e46-8d306dd55c05'; statusCode=400; errorCode=INVALID_JOB_ID The logs indicate that the asset upload and job submission completed successfully, but the error occurs when retrieving the job result.Could you please confirm if there are any known issues on the server side or changes in the API that might explain this?Thanks in advance 

Hi, is Adobe PDF services working for anyone right now?  It stop working for me on Friday.  I created new Client ID's and Secrets but they don't work.  I even tried it on 3 different tenants. I also called Microsoft support, they tried the keys on their environment and got the same error:  Action 'Get_PDF_Properties' failed: There is no service principal present in the organization for this client id.

TIA

Hello, I have an application using the PDF Service API that creates MergeDocument Job with a Word document job and JSON object. This has been working fine for the last six months and stopped working today (the last successful job was on the 23rd of April). Any submitted job returns a 500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR even if it was successful previously. Here are some request tracking id : - requestTrackingId: '5e81e072-b5c9-41b7-bfaa-551bf6f80002'- requestTrackingId: '75201d3b-2fb3-47df-9e04-a71a74cfa3cd'- requestTrackingId: '209431c0-9b3b-4531-8e8a-a31088e4eef3' They were submitted with @adobe/pdfservices-node-sdk@4.0.0 and @adobe/pdfservices-node-sdk@4.1.0. When tested with an empty document the job is successful, if the error comes from the submitted template I cannot found the reason. The template didn't change recently. Thank you for your help

Estimados, buen dia / tarde / noche.Estoy intentando leer un PDF y me da un error 415 "Unsupported Media Type" al intentar subir el archivo PDF.No tengo suficientes conocimientos, alguien podrá ayudarme? 

I used the free PDF Services actions in Power Automate to process invoices.  Usually when the 500 limit is reached, I swap the client ID and secret with a new one on the PDF services Power Automate connector.  However this time I get the error: "There is no service principal present in the organization for this client id." I am working with MS support on this issue.  Did anyone else have the same issue and was able to resolve it?  I really need help and direction on this issue.

Hello, I am new to this application and I would like to know if someone can help me,how I can extract from a pdf to an excel, in bulk.I am looking to automate the work.I don't know where to start

I believe this is a change in behavior from the API but I'm having a hard time pinpointing when. This FAQ says that pdf conversion will show tracked changes as they appear in Word: https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/faq/tech-support/#features---pdf-services-api-tracked-changes-and-comment-support-what-happens-to-any-tracked-changes-and-comments-in-the-doc-or-docx-files However when using the Pdf Services SDK to convert a docx file to a pdf those the change tracking markup is not shown. It does show that markup if you convert the file using the free adobe online pdf conversion tool here: https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/word-to-pdf.html Is there a way to force the same conversion process when calling via API?

Hello Community, I am so incredibly frustrated. After several months of trying to get my PDF to have a clickable, hyperlinked PIN in the footer of my document and at the end of my document, I decided to use Adobe API services. So currently I am using the following: Adobe PDF Services in a hybrid relationship with Java on my online portalI've created a PDF template with button fields (PIN1, PIN2) - I had previously tried text fields and this didn't work! I want to do a Mouse Up → Open Web Link action but this does not show up on my Mac Mini! Acrobat on macOS won’t save my document consistentlyMy backend fills the field labels just fine, but the hyperlink must be baked in or inserted via Java, however this is not working out at all. Does someone in this vibrant community have any ideas? I am beyond frustrated with this now. Thank you all. Liz. 

Hi,  The document generation fails whenever we attempt to send the following code (below the screenshot) for PDF creation. We are expecting a document that includes the table below. Can someone assist us. It's a regular business requirement -   <table class="MsoTableGrid" style="box-sizing:border-box; border-collapse:collapse; border-spacing:0px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent !important; font-size:14px; padding:0px; font-family:SuisseIntRegularS, sans-serif; color:#3a3c39; font-style:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; orphans:2; text-align:left; text-transform:none; widows:2; word-spacing:0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width:0px; white-space:normal; background-color:#f5f5f5; text-decoration-thickness:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-decoration-color:initial; width:473.2pt; border:none" width="631"><tbody style="box-sizing:border-box; -webkit-tap-highlight-color:t

The PDF accessibility check outputs accessibility issues it encounters but fails to identify where those issues occur. Is there any way to add the location of the failure? When scanning a document that has lots of pages, it's hard to understand where the failure is. Attaching example output from the services API. This output was achieved using the basic demo.

We are trying to avoid polling for job status by setting a callback as shown in the documentation, but it isn't being called. Polling for completion works, though.  Running the callback from an external source also works.Is there a way to test callback calling from Adobe side? Thanks!!

I am using sveltekit + tauri and would like to have a pdf viewer. I tried the one from Adobe and it seems to have the features I needed, but it seems that I cannot use those features at the same time. I need to be able for uses to highlight (annotate) and also get the text they are highlighting. EnableFilePreviewEvents, specifically the `PREVIEW_SELECTION_END` event, allow me to get the text the user just highlighted. But if I set EnableFilePreviewEvents to True, the user cannot annotate (highlight). It will show `Feature can't be enabled or disabled`. I need the ability to highlight as usuall, but also get the content of what is being highlighted.
