Adobe Acrobat Web SDK PDF Embed API CORS preflight error on custom CRM endpoints

Hello Adobe Community,

We are encountering a cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) preflight issue while integrating the Adobe Acrobat PDF Embed API into our B2B workflow.

Setup Context:

  • Our application, Frontline Sales Consultancy (flsc.co.uk), dynamically embeds document previews generated via API.

  • We have registered our client ID and configured the allowed domain parameters accordingly.

The Issue:

  1. When the PDF View SDK attempts to fetch document streams from our backend endpoint, browser developer tools report a preflight OPTIONS failure (403 / 502 Bad Gateway).

  2. Direct API requests bypassing the SDK viewer pass successfully without CORS blocks.

  3. Does the Adobe Embed API require specific header white-listing on origin servers when handling authorization bearer tokens?

Any guidance on configuring origin response headers for custom Web SDK implementations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
