Acrobat Services API

Hello, we are planning to introduce PDF service API. Since we are in accounting, customer data management is important. We are a company located in Korea. If we use PDF Extract API or Adobe PDF Services API, please let us know where (country) the service is uploaded to. Also, after we upload and receive conversion information, does the data remain on the server or is it deleted from the server? If it remains, can we delete it immediately through API?

Here is our requirement to identify the right API. * Edit existing PDF. Basically to add text on designated placeholders.* and sign with signature image at the signature place holder. Looking for the suitable API compatible with React JS. Is it free or Paid? Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I have a few XFA PDF documents. Each of them has dynamic sub-forms and XML data. I'm trying to find a solution to combine them into one DPF. After combining them, it can be static content. The most important thing is to render XFA forms using templates and XML data (to have the same view as a user opens it using Acrobat Reader) and join the results from multiple documents into one.  Can someone propose any solutions to deal with it?

I'm not a coder by any means but I'm trying to create an automated business process. I have the front end done, where a user uploads two documents, and the solution is to see the the difference on the numbers in a table contained on page 2 and update them. I created a solution using Python, but it would create an image rather than updating the individual field. This is a no goal for a legal document, as I need the actual field, updated similarly to how you would through Adobe Acrobat. Looking over some documentation and through ChatGPT, it seems Adobe API should be able to replace numbers on document one with the right ones from document two. I am a registered customer using PDF Services API with the DCAPI scope enabled. I can authenticate and use other endpoints (like Combine PDF, OCR, etc.) successfully as well. When I try, PDF Services API /operation/replace-text returns 415 Unsupported Media Type.  My credentials are valid and recently used.I have trie

Using the [Merge PDFs] Powerautomate action to merge multiple PDF files into a single file all stored on a SharePoint site. When I do this, I get the Corrupt File error. Here are the relevant steps I'm using. 1. [Get items] (from SharePoint)---- [For Each] ----2. [Parse] (to get file path)3. [Get file content using path]4. [Append to array variable]--- Outside of [For Each] ----5. [Merge PDFs] <- Error occurs here I'm including a notepad file with the raw inputs into the 'Merge PDFs' action for reference. Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

I recently purchased the Adobe Pro upgrade for access to Acrobat AI Assistant.  My warehousing company has to process 100's of scanned PDF Receipt documents each day.  I thought Acrobat AI Assistant )AIA) would facilitate extracting key data from the first page of these PDF Receipt documents and present the output in Tabular format.  I am finding AIA is not there yet... many hallucinations.  Does anyone have a similar use case using Adobe PDF Extract API?  I have downloaded a free copy of Adobe PDF Extract API, but I am not a seasoned developer and don't really know how to get started with Adobe PDF Extract API.  Any suggestions how to get going with Adobe PDF Extract API for a novice?

When I try to create client id using https://documentservices.adobe.com/dc-integration-creation-app-cdn/main.html?api=pdf-embed-api I get an error . I have app with http://example/netsuite where I am trying to give example as domain to create client id . When I give example.com it creates one but that doesnt work . When I tried localhost it did go thorugh but I wanted to generate one for example not example.com

Hi, adding a shape annotation via AnnotationManager.addAnnotations doesn't work as expected anymore.When adding a line for example by passing two coordinates in the inklist. The result is a dot. It will render the desired line when I add the end point twice, but after saving the pdf and reloading, the line turns into a dot again. (Only via the embed api viewer though. A line is rendered, when opened in other pdf viewers) Similar unexpected behaviour occurs when trying to add shapes like rectangles or ellipses. It's pretty much not possible to add anything without the result being completely wonky. I believe this is somehow connected to the handdrawn shapes being smoothed out, but when adding a shape by passing a list of coordinates, I don't want those coordinates processed in any way. I expect the exact coordinates I put in the inklist. Adding an ellipse defined by a list of 32 coordinates now looks like this:In an earlier version of the embed api, the exact sa

Dear Adobe Support Team,I am using the Adobe PDF Services API to generate PDFs from HTML. The initial PDF correctly preserves internal navigation links, such as table of contents or index links pointing to specific sections within the document.However, after applying the Protect PDF operation, the internal links no longer work in the protected PDF.I have reviewed the documentation and tested multiple configurations, including:Allowing the EDIT_DOCUMENT_ASSEMBLY permissionChanging the contentToEncrypt value to ONLY_EMBEDDED_FILESUsing both AES_128 and AES_256 encryption algorithmsDespite these changes, the internal navigation fails after applying protection. The links work perfectly before the protection step.Could you please confirm:Is this a known limitation of the Protect API?Is there a supported way to apply security while preserving internal navigation features?Are there any best practices or planned updates to address this use case?Preserving internal navigation is essential for o

I am receiving the following error in my .NET Framework MVC project when I load a page which has the Embed PDF API scripts.  I asked CoPilot to analyze.  Here's a snippet:The error TypeError: Cannot redefine property: safeSessionStorage occurs because the Object.defineProperty method is being used to define a property (safeSessionStorage) that already exists and is non-configurable. Non-configurable properties cannot be redefined or modified.The root cause likely lies in the initializeStorage function, which attempts to redefine the safeSessionStorage property. Without access to the full implementation of initializeStorage or the context in which it is called, it is challenging to pinpoint the exact issue. However, it is possible that the property was previously defined as non-configurable, either by the same codebase or an external library.The issue happens in a script loaded from Adobe's site called "StorageHelper.js".  The code in question is on line 45:Object.defineP

I have a fillable form that has already been filled and stored in Firebase.I'm trying to view this PDF in my web application. This PDF is showing in the application without any problems. However, the information filled in the fields is not visible. If I access the link of this file directly in the browser, it is possible to see the information filled in, but, as I said, when I used the PDF Embed API, those fields are blank. In my web app: Direct link to Firebase (https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/project-ergo-2b295.appspot.com/o/nasa-tlx%2Fexample.pdf?alt=media&token=1)  Does anyone knows how to fix that? Thank you.

Hello, I would like to clarify two accessibity issues (please forward me to dedicated channel if this one is not perfect):1) On mobile in mode "Full Window" the button to change view mode does not have "alt" or title element inside svg. Where shoud I report it?2) Automation tools report also problem that scrollbar is not focusable using keyboard only. "Description: The element contains overflowing content that can be reached by scrolling, however the scrolling is not accessible to keyboard users." I know that we can focus the content and then scroll using the keyboard up/down. Could you advise if this is actualy an issue or should be treated as false positive?  

I used company email to sign up for a free trial on Adobe. Wanted to use Adobe PDF connection on Power Automate. Power Automate asked me to input credentials by visiting https://www.adobe.com/go/getstarted_powerautomate But I always get this error message: "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again after some time". Does anyone know how to solve this problem other than using my personal email to create an account?

Is it possible to use the Watermark API to strike through a section of PDF?   I want to put a diagonal line through a portion of the page (not the whole page).    If not, is there another means of accomplishing this?

This was working this week until today. I see there were issues with the Document Services API today but it says the issue is now closed. Is this a new issue?   

Hi everyone,I'm working on a pipeline that involves translating the text content of a PDF into another language and then generating a new PDF that maintains the original formatting and layout as much as possible. I’m trying to achieve this using Adobe PDF Services API. Here’s what I want to do:Extract structured content from a PDF (ideally as JSON, preserving style/structure).Translate the extracted text (using my translation model).Rebuild the PDF (either by modifying the original or creating a new PDF with the translated content, if it's impossible is there a chance to build a docx instead?). I’ve successfully used the Extract API to get a JSON from my PDF, and I can parse and translate the text with Python. However, I’m unsure about the best way to go from the translated JSON back to a PDF.Questions:Is there a recommended way to rebuild a PDF (or DOCX) from the translated JSON using Adobe's tools?Should I convert the translated text into a DOCX and then use the Create

I am experiencing unexpected behavior with the drawing tool (freetext annotation) in the Adobe PDF Embed API. Following a recent update to the SDK (not documented in the release notes for this specific functionality), the tool no longer defaults to the blue color (#0a23f5), even though the previewAnnotationColorMap setting is correctly defined in my GET_USER_SETTING_API implementation.Problem Description:Prior to a recent viewer.js update, when a user selected the "freehand drawing" or "freetext" tool (commonly used for signatures), the default color for this annotation was blue (#0a23f5), as configured by us. However, now the tool appears with a different color (seems to be black or the last color used by the user), which goes against our requirements for signatures.I have reviewed the PDF Embed API release notes and have not found any mention of changes directly affecting the previewAnnotationColorMap functionality for freetext annotations.Environment:Affected Browser(s): [e.g., Goog

I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat's Auto Add AcroForm feature and have encountered some limitations that I'd like to discuss:1. API Availability Question: Is there any way to programmatically access the Auto Add AcroForm functionality through an Adobe API? I understand this feature currently works only on PDFs without existing form fields through the Acrobat UI. However, I'm looking for a way to integrate this capability into our automated workflow, even if it's available only for specific subscription plans or enterprise licenses.2. Field Detection Accuracy Issue: I've noticed consistent mapping issues with multi-part fields, particularly with date fields that are visually separated into three components (day/month/year). While the auto-detection successfully identifies and maps the first field component, the subsequent parts are assigned generic names like "undefined_01", "undefined_02", etc.Could you provide:Any configuration options or best practices to improve the accuracy

Hi there, I have a storyline course using the webobject option to embed 18 pdf policies, one policy in each slide using index.html files and the PDF Embed API coding. The policies and the index files reside on our company server together. When accessing them from the server the index file opens the policy every time without fail for all 18. However while testing the storyline course, it randomly shows some policies and not others, and it is never the same policy with every try. Sometimes it's just one policy, sometimes it's three policies-there's no rhyme or reason to it and its always on desktop/laptop, on mobile every policy works as it should they populate in the iframe. On desktop/laptop I have to refresh to get them to load or go back one slide and then click on the slide that didn't load again and it will load as it should. I am not a coder...but I am looking for coding that would allow the index file to see that the pdf didn't load in the iframe and reload the iframe after 10 se

 Hi Adobe Team,We are currently using the Adobe PDF Extract APIs to process PDF documents that are highly confidential. To align with our data security policies, we plan to use external storage, as we do not want customer data to persist on Adobe Cloud storage.I have a couple of questions regarding this:Transient Storage: Even when using external storage, does Adobe internally use any transient or temporary storage during the document processing phase? If yes, how is that data handled or purged to ensure data privacy?Credential Management: Is there a secure way to access the API via SDKs without hardcoding sensitive credentials like client_id and client_secret in the source code? For example, can we leverage environment variables, secure token exchanges, or any recommended practices from Adobe?Looking forward to your guidance on these aspects. Thanks in advance! Regards,Shivang

Hello everyone,I'm working on an n8n workflow (v1.92.2, self-hosted on Windows) to automate PDF to HTML conversion using the Adobe PDF Services API. I'm stuck on a persistent "404 Not Found" error and would appreciate any help.The Goal: Implement the asynchronous process described in the Adobe API documentation:Create Asset (POST /assets): Get an assetID and uploadUri.Upload File (PUT {uploadUri}): Upload the binary PDF data.Start Conversion (POST /pdf/export): Send the assetID to start the conversion.Poll Status (GET {locationHeader}): Check the job status until it's "done".Download Result: Download the final HTML file.The Problem: My workflow consistently fails at Step 3 (Start Conversion). The node Adobe - Iniciar Conversão receives a 404 Not Found error from the Adobe API.My Hypothesis: This is a classic race condition. The request to start the conversion is arriving at Adobe's servers before the uploaded file from Step 2 is fully processed and available, even though the upload its
