What is the size of the JS libraries for the PDF Embed API?

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?

What is embed api sdk lisence and how do I manage version of sdk

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?

Show annotations from other users

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!

Cannot see any data in Insights under adobe.io for PDF Services API

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!

Unable to render table row color using CreatePDFDynamic

Hi all, I'm trying to get my node.js app to generate a PDF of a table with some data on it.I am using createPdfFromDynamicHtml.My data got successfully rendered, but not their row color.  row.style.backgroundColor = `green`; This results in: Notice that the my bootstrap rounded edge style at <th> is poorly applied also. It seems to me that the parser is somehow taking a snapshot earlier than it should? Here is a snippet of where I put my code in index.html </head> <body class="spectrum spectrum--medium spectrum--light" onload = "initial()"> <script src="./json.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initial() { var document = window.document;  When looking at index.html in a browser, the rows are colored as intended.

Embed PDFs using Adobe View can't open dynamic URL (no filename in URL)

I am trying to preview PDF from CDN that uses dynamic URLs to generate PDF, like this:cdn.domain.com/12345/?name=filename.pdfwhere also cdn.domain.com/12345/works fine.Any workaround to this problem, or it is just not capable to read PDFs form URL that does not follow standard format (e.g. domain.com/filename.pdf) ?

[PDF Embed API] Is there a way to change the behavior of comments?

For the comments, we want to do our own commenting, we have code as following:annotationManager.registerEventListener(function (event) {console.log(event);console.log(event.type, event.data);if (event.type === 'ANNOTATION_MODE_STARTED' && event.data === 'freetext') {//Do our own stuff//Is there a way to stop the default comment function?}});We basically want to use our own comment function instead of the function provided by API. We can have our comment section shows up, is there a way to stop the default comment function?

Embedded API: Is there a way to disable editing/deleting annotations which are not by current user ?

If one PDF document has annotations by many users, is there a way to disable editing/deleting annotations which are not by curent user? In other words, user should only be able to edit/delete annotation made by him/her.

What is the optimal PDF page length to hit the PDF Extract API?

I am using the PDF extract API for one of my applications. Each PDF file page length may differ from 300 - 1000 pages. In the documentation, it is mentioned that non-scanned PDFs are limited to 200 pages and Scanned PDFs must be 100 pages or less. Limits may be lower for files with a large number of tables.To solve the above-mentioned limitations a PDF file should be split into multiple chunks, but how can I determine the optimal no. of page length for each PDF to automate the process? Questions?What is the max no. of pages that I can hit the API with a PDF which contains onlyscanned pages in it? large tables?scanned large tables? Thank you!

Want to use adobe to embed documents on our site

We are a small media publishing website. We have tested the embed function of adobe using this: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk-demo/index.html#/view/FULL_WINDOW/Bodea%20Brochure.pdf It works great, and we would now like to utilize this in our website. We just want to publish pdfs, and we dont need anyone to be able to sign or fill in a form, just embedding documents using iframe. What product do we use for this, and how to we upload, get started? Thanks!

Postman Approach Working with PDF Extract API, Having Trouble With R approach

I am getting 403 errors when I attempt to access the PDF Extract API using R (specifically the httr package). The API works fine in Postman, and I have successfully used the following R code to generate a "Bearer" token: r = POST( url = "https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/exchange/jwt/", body = list( client_id = {{Placeholder for client_id}}, client_secret = {{Placeholder for client_secret}}, jwt_token = {{Placeholder for jwt_token}} ), encode = "form" ) access_token = content(r)$access_token Authorization = paste("Bearer", access_token) The "Bearer" token that I have generated using R works fine when I copy and paste it into Postman for posting a PDF file and getting the extracted JSON data. So far, so good. But I get a 403 error if I try to use the same "Bearer" token (and my client_id) to get the same extracted JSON data into R using the following R code:httr::GET( url = "https://cpf-ue1.adobe.io/ops/id/{{Placeholder for x-request-id}}",

Adobe Extract API Hyperlink is a different element then the string it is in

hello,  I am using the document extract REST api to parse pdf's that include hyperlinks. from my testing it looks like the api parses the hyperlink as a different element then the sentance that it is in. from what i can tell there is no indication of where the hyper link was located in the string so i can reassemble it, as it leaves no symbol and eats the trailing line space.  below is the content analyzer request i have been using. the documentation has given me no clue as how to either get it to ignore hyperlinks, or otherwise indicate where they were extracted from.  { "cpf:engine": { "repo:assetId": "urn:aaid:cpf:58af6e2c-1f0c-400d-9188-078000185695" }, "cpf:inputs": { "documentIn": { "cpf:location": "InputFile0", "dc:format": "application/pdf" }, "params": { "cpf:inline": { "elementsToExtract": [ "text", "tables" ] } } }, "cpf:

When using Export PDF to DOCX API, code hangs on exportPdfOperation.Execute method

I'm writing an app for visually impared person (I'm using the .net SDK for a Windows Form) that needs to have a many PDF documents converted to docx.  The app iterates through a directory, find all files, and converts those that are PDFs.  I've been testing this with a max of 20 files. Most files are around 500 KB and, for testing purposes, I added a PDF document from a scanner, that is 2 MB (the biggest file of all). These files all convert individually. However, when I ran my app, the API hangs after about 4 of the small files (sometimes even after 2).  I'm using a trial account, which I believe has 1000 documents. When I check how many I have used, it's always stuck at 19 docs....like doesn't matter how many times I run my test winform  apps, the APIs call don't make it to Adobe. I get no response, it just hangs. Is there some throttle with trial account? Is there somewhere a log I can see what's going on? I also did some search for batch exports,

Issue with Adobe Experience Manager integration with PDF Embed API

We have extended the PDF viewer core component in our AEM environments. We have also created API keys for each of the domains in the Adobe Developer Console. When we set up the PDF viewer component in our STAGE author environment, we get the message "This application domain is not authorized to use the provided PDF Embed API Client ID. (please see attached screenshots) The API key is set up to the correct domain.

Adobe extract post request.

What is the format for sending the adobe extract post? I've gone through the documentation for the extract API(https://documentcloud.adobe.com/document-services/index.html#post-extractPDF) and tried to implement the request in Postman, but everytime I'm getting a HTTP 500 error. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong with my API call. Thanks.This is the cURL command I'm using. curl --location --request POST 'https://cpf-ue1.adobe.io/ops/:create' \ --header 'Accept: application/json, text/plain, /' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' \ --header 'x-api-key: {api-key}' \ --header 'Prefer: respond-async,wait=0' \ --form 'contentAnalyzerRequests="{ \"cpf:engine\": { \"repo:assetId\": \"urn:aaid:cpf:58af6e2c-1f0c-400d-9188-078000185695\" }, \"cpf:inputs\": { \"documentIn\": { \"cpf:location\": \"fileInput1\", \"dc:format\": \"application/pdf\" }, \"params\": { \"cpf:inline\": { \"
