Dynamic HTML to PDF how to declare JSON variables in the HTML - no documentation

I cannot find ANY indication of how to insert placeholders for JSON values in the HTML code so that they populate with the JSON data when generating the PDF.There is documentation on the Adobe Website for PDF creation from JSON template data on the WORD version {{variable}} but nothing on Dynamic HTML.I am able to generate the PDF from the HTML but the JSON array I am passing does not change the text in the document.  Can someone clarify the syntax/format of how to declare the JSON variables in HTML please?JSON : {"PageContent": "Test"}HTML : <!DOCTYPE html><html><body>{{PageContent}}</body></html>PDF generated attached

Adobe PDF Embed API Caching Issues showing older Annotations

HI Team, We are using PDF Embed API/ PDF viewer service to use for Annotations on PDF. We are able to annotate and Save the document to AEM. On refresh of a PDF page on browser after sucessfull Save operation to Post data to AEM, we are still seeing older version of the comments within PDF. We are able to see latest set of comments on using Ctrl + Shift + R but not with normal refresh of a PDF Annotated page.  We have also verified in AEM to see if server has latest set of comments persidted with in document and it has latest comments. I have taken into consideration qand implemented below points Remove the iframe src and refresh PDF page for every Save operation to Server to make sure iframe loaded with PDF is always a non cached version on browser and gets latest from Server.No Dispatcher cache for PDF files from Server side.Clearing localstorage of browser to make sure each refresh gets a fresh version of PDF which is stored in AEM. Can you please kindl

Document Merge API - CORRUPT_DOCUMENT Error ONLY when I have edited the file.

I am hoping to use the PDF Services API to generate PDF files from .docx template files. When I use the downloadable templates (AgreementLMTemplate.docx, AgreementLMTemplate.json) directly from the Adobe website everything runs smoothly. The API call happens and the resulting PDF is correctly filled out. The problem is if I make any edits to the template, or create a new .docx file using the Word Plug-in, I get and error with the statusCode:400 and errorCode: CORRUPT_DOCUMENT. It does not matter if I edited the downloaded template or created a template from scratch, any .docx that I hit 'Save' on within word causes the CORRUPT_DOCUMENT error to occur. Even a .docx with not tags and just a line of text or a single tag create this error. This also happens when I try to use the online tool and create the PDFs from within the Word Plug-In, so it must be something in my version of Word that is causing the error. Word is up to date running Version 2401 (Build 17231.20236 Click-To-R

PDF to DOCX conversion error. 400 BAD Request.

Hi, I received this error com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.exception.ServiceApiException: description ='Bad Request.'; requestTrackingId='1b87ba50-30cb-4132-8eba-984f6cec55d0'; statusCode=400; errorCode=BAD_REQUEST  on one of the PDFs that I had uploaded for docx conversion. Could you please help me understand why this could have happened based on the request tracking id? The same doc when it was tried a few hours later, just worked fine, so it appears as though it was a service issue at that point in time, but why would I receive BAD REQUEST for a service issue/outage? -Jay

Custom Font in Document Generation API

We have a .docx template which is being merged with some JSON data and turned into a PDF via the Document Generation API. We are using the .NET SDK for this. Most of the document template is formatted in "Montserrat" font which seems to be a non-standard font type. When we get the resulting PDF, it appears to have converted all the Montserrat into Calibri font. Does anyone know if Montserrat font is supported by the Document Generation API?

PDF does not open in Adobe Acrobat Online from https://www.office.com/mycontent (M365)

I am having a strange issue.  I setup Adobe Document Cloud in my Azure tenant and set myself as a user.  If I navigate directly to Onedrive for Business/Sharepoint online (https://redacted-my.sharepoint.com.mcas.ms) and open a PDF it successfully opens using Acrobat Online within the web session.  However, the exact same PDF tries to download and open in the native web browser when I open it from  M365 (https://www.office.com/mycontent).  Is this expected behavior?  Is there any way to force it to open in Acrobat Online when accessing the document via office.com?  This is a requirement as we do not allow downloads from our M365 tenant when accessing from untrusted (personal) devices. Thank you, Justin

Convert to Excel in Power Automate

Hi All We have a flow setup to convert PDF files to Excel.  It works great in the basic form but we would like to be able to exclude images and formatting from the output to Excel, and only have the text output in columns and rows, as the images (Logo's) and fonts, colours etc aren't required. There isn't an option to remove this items in the Convert PDF to Excel action, is this currently possible or is it a feature request? Thank you Nigel

PDF Extract "discussion"

Hi all !More of an idea exchange than a discussion, I'm looking into several techno's and Adobe PDF Extract looks very promising. Has anyone used it for multiple PDF files to set up a RAG with an LLM ? - I'm wondering about the size of the chunks (which vary greatly) and the interpretability of the tables. Did you need to convert them to Markdown (as they are exported in .csv by default) for the LLM to interpret them "correctly"?
