Correct answer Joel Geraci

i need to parse the actual content for the real title... lots of time the metadata gives wrong one.

Get Outlook for iOS

I think I understand but let me check. The title in the metadata isn't the text that would be recognized by a human as the title of the document if they were reading it on screen. If that's the case, take a look at our PDF Tools / Extract API.

Hi thanks for your reply.

basically i used the previewPDF function in window.AdobeDC.View class to render a pdf from a URL.

and after it loads the PDF automatically, i want to get a raw arrayBuffer content of the loaded PDF so that i could do some processing on it.

So i wonder if there is an API for requesting the raw pdf buffer.

I know that annotationManager.removeAnnotationsFromPDF returns the PDF buffer, but to use this function, i have to set the "IncludePDFAnnotations" to true, which I don't want, cos the additional save button will appear...
