Acrobat Services API

I am calling pdfservices using the pdfservices-sdk-2.1.0.jar and I more often than not receive a timeout. The error received is: com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.exception.ServiceApiException: description ='Operation timed out; transactionId=kfvgjemcquOgWIkQZSVgjcjHkyTAg8yL'; requestTrackingId='WDwted6OPYfluBO3fDBwFbhlfNKS4eLY'; statusCode=500; errorCode=REQUEST_TIMEOUTat com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.pdfops.DocumentMergeOperation.execute(DocumentMergeOperation.java:145) ~[pdfservices-sdk-2.1.0.jar:?]The error occurs in the CPFApi class, method cpfStatusApi. Sometimes the .docx to .pdf conversion works fine, but more frequently it will hit the timeout problem. On initial system start-up, it will frequently convert one document, then if I run the identical job again it will run into the timeout problem. The method that it's in when the timeout occurs is (in the CPFApi class):    public static <T> HttpResponse<T> cpfStatusApi(InternalExecut

HelloI use the "Convert image to PDF" action in power automate to automatically process receipts from our employees.Employees take a picture from the receipt with their smartphone and upload it in a microsoft form, together with some data (name, etc.)The problem is that pictures from a smartphone almost never have a good format, they are too big.It would be great if pictures-size could be reduced to max A4 format (8,3 x 11,7 inches, 21 x 29,7 cm) so that it is max 1 A4 page in the converted pdf.See the attacment : the size is 48 x 64 inches, where it should have a max size of A4 (8,3 x 11,7 inches)Is there a way to resize the picture during the "Convert image to PDF" action with a parameter "max size"?Sincerely

Hello world! I have a PDF with hight 576 px. Also i have a bounds of some aria that I am highlighting with this bounds. The bounds from adobe api. To highlight i am using annotationManager.AddAnnotationsToPDF and it highlighted well. the bounds is float numbers. But when I tryed to use the same bundes to pass to apis.gotoLocation (like apis.gotoLocation(11, 0, parseInt(bondles[1])) where bondles[1] is y1 as float => it "jump" to random plase. If I doesn't do this the editor automaticly "jump" to page where  I add highlited comment but not to the specific aria by y-coordinate. As got here (https://community.adobe.com/t5/document-services-apis-discussions/adobe-pdf-embed-gotolocation-timing-problem/m-p/12391079) may be I need to do the similar calculation for the y coordinate value (to use screen.height and PPI) but what must be the units of x and y coordinate and how exactly to calculate tham? Or, otherwise why it does not focus on the add comment(highlight)?

Hello all, This is my first time posting to this forum and using Adobe PDF Embed API so please forgive me if my questions seems basic.Following instructions I found online mostly at Adobe's own website I created a html index file and placed inside the same folder that contains my PDF file. I registered my domain as www.domain.com and both the index file and the PDF are insider a folder in www.domain.com/folder.I first tried my API key but then read the instructions again and replaced it by my Client ID, which is what I believe I am required to enter as part of the code in my html page.Either way didn't seem to work. Once I navigate to the page it displays a gray background with a white rectanble in the center with the following message:"File preview not availableThis application domain (http://www.domain.com) is not authorized to use the provided PDF Embed API Client ID."I have replaced my real domain with domain.com as I am not sure if I'm allowed to post the real domain here and

Hello,  We are having problems with periodic times of slow service. Since these are not individual outliers, but all conversion requests suddenly taking minutes, we don't think it is due to the documents been converted at the time. Especially since earlier this morning, we see that a conversion might take more than 5 min in average (we see ranges of 3 min up to 17 min). As we are currently increasing the traffic we send to using the pdf conversion, we would like to ensure these wait times can be reduced.  Could you help us understand what might be the reason for this?Thank you for your support. 

At the moment it support three annotation tools namely, 'Note', 'Highlight' and 'Free Hand Drawing'. when can we  except the release date,  that contains drawing  tools like square , circle  in  Adobe DC View SDK

I installed Adobe Document Cloud to my local pc for SharePoint. I can open documents in Adobe via the browser now. However, I cannot search for comments within those Adobe documents. Is it possible to search for comments within pdf files stored within SharePoint?

Having reviewed the docs briefly, is there a way to change the result package?  Working on an MVP using AWS Lambda and Step Functions, at this juncture, I only need the json file for text-only extraction.  It would be useful to get direct access to that file vs. having to add unzipping and extraction on my end. Appreciate any trailheads/tips I have missed or if a toggle couple be added.   

Hi All! I wanted to share that Adobe PDF Tools now has a new very powerful API: Document Generation API. I write about it in detail here but I wanted to give you a few highlights:   Create your templates in Word You can easily create your templates in Microsoft Word. The new Adobe Document Generation Tagger allows you to take your data sources and easily tag documents that you use with the API.   Data is in JSON format If you are already have an app and your data in JSON, then it is really easy to integrate the data. Just pass the data into the API along with your Word template. What's more, you can also use complex data sets which include arrays, objects, as well as images!   Conditional sections You can configure conditional sections to allow you have only sections be visible if the data has a certain value. For example, if the state=Washington, then add the Washington State paragraphs to the output.    You can generate both PDF and DOCX documents That'

Hi, We are using Adobe PDF Embed API, amazing free library! We have one problem.We are showing all the pdf in read only mode without annotation panel. We need to put a button beside the document name when the library finishes loading the file. We have the our div, but it can not be added to the UI using the `insertAdjacentElement` method! we are getting the span element which contains `document name` and we are trying to add our div beside it! It fails because the content which was loaded by the adobe library made browser to not insert the content in the DOM and that is why we receive null! If we open the developer console and inspect the content that adobe inserted for the pdf viewer then it will not be null. I suspect that it is because of the `role=presentation` of the content, but how we can get the pdf embed library to load the content into the dom so we will have access in Angular to add our div?

We have successfully set up a reverse proxy on our server to the main.js file. (to get around security blocking sofware) We can now pull in the Adobe PDF embed API js file in the following url: https://dr-www.mfs.com/view-sdk/main.jsHowever the PDF component starts to appear on the page but fails to complete rendering. After reviewing the developer console, it appears that there’s a JSON web token that fails to load? Is this connected to passing the client API key back to Adobe? Is there a workaround for this issue?  

Is there a way to change the default link behavior when embedding a PDF? We have a webpage with an embedded PDF that contains links to different pages on our website. When you click a link, a white box appears confirming you want to Open Web Page. After clicking the Open Link button, Microsoft Edge shows the Pop-up blocked message. That's it. Sure I can personally click to allow the popup, but that is not ideal for most of our users.

I had written about Liquid Mode for Adobe API in September and would like to know if Adobe has plans to bring the liquid mode to Adobe Embedded API as the current embedded API is not responsive for other devices.  Also, would it be possible to let me know if Adobe Embedded API have an impact on SEO?

I'm trying to extract data from a PDF using Extract PDF API. I got authorisation, submission and polling working fine. However, polling returns a broken file with a JSON in the midst of it. I'm not sure how to get rid of the broken parts and just return a JSON with the text from the PDF. Has anyone faced an issue like that?Unfortunately, I can't attach the real file because the forum won't let me.

HiWe are using Adobe PDF Embed API to annotate in the PDF.We want to include Rectangle shape to draw the shape in PDF. Need to add another control beside annotation tools. How can i customize this,can you please help me on this.  

In one of the examples for the PDF Extract API, some of the text is included in a png along with the adjacent image. The text is not present in the structuredData.json file, so it is essentially not being extracted.      Is this a common issue with the Extract API? 

Hi together,From time to time we see some Internal Server errors from the Adobe API endpoint for converting DOCX to PDF or PDF to DOCX.For example multiple conversion from PDF to DOCX failed with an Internal Server error on 2021-10-28 in the times from 12:42:00 UTC till 2021-10-28 14:24:00 UTC and also later that day from 19:16:00 UTC till 19:26:00 UTC.In addition we encountered multiple Internal Server errors for the conversion from DOCX to PDF this morning at 06:54:00 UTC.Could you maybe help us understand what is causing these Internal Server errors and if there is anything on our side that we could change ?If it would help debuging the issues we could provide you the request ids of the failed conversion operations. Note: This has happened without enabling the options reported in  https://community.adobe.com/t5/document-services-apis-discussions/facing-internal-server-errors-on-pdf-services-api/m-p/12475683 that lead to all requests fail with an Internal Server error.&nbsp

The documentation indicates the PDF Embed API is completely client-based but I don't see it clearly stated whether it's 100% JavaScript (a la Mozilla PDF.js)  or whether it may utilize a PDF engine built-in to mobile or desktop operating system or browser (such as the PDFium-based viewer in Chrome Android). I'm assuming it is pure JS with no client PDF engine dependencies - is this correct? If so is the total download size comparably sized to PDF.js (32MB)?  Are there performance expectations vs. PDF.js?

I saw docs but I don't find type of embed api sdk lisence. Is it MIT? And how do I manage sdk version because the sdk is only provided from https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk/main.js Is there any plan to register npm or provide versioning endpoint?

Hello! Just a newbie here, I'm trying to play with this sample:https://codepen.io/practicalPDF/pen/dyGBQqJ Is it possible to show annotations from other users instantly (like the sample above) but using a different browser instead of in the same page? Hope the gurus notice my question. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,  We've been using the PDF Services API for the last 2 days and we still do not see any data under the Insights page in adobe.io. Screenshot attached. We know that we are using the API based on our own data, could you help us find out why this is not showing on Adobe side? We are using pay-as-you-go-licence, managed by AWS.  Thank you! 

I have tried to use the code in Dreamweaver but i get the message File preview not available - the application domain is not authorised to use the provided PDF Embed API Client ID.  I am using <YOUR_CLIENT_ID>.  I have tried a registered client id but this gets the same error. 

Hi, We are using Document Cloud SDK PDF Embed API in Production for displaying pdfs in Adobe SDK pdf viewer.

The screenshot is attached herewith. Please find the same. Is there any fix provided by Adobe Document Cloud SDK for this issue? Is there any alternative way to fix it on IE?This issue is in PROD. Immediate help will be highly appreciated.  Regards,Umair.
