Hi everyone,I'm currently integrating Adobe PDF Services REST API (without SDK) in a Node.js server.Everything works fine until the final conversion step.Here’s my full sequence:1)Token (IMS)POST https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/token/v3→ Works, I get a valid access token.2) Asset Upload (HTML or ZIP)POST https://pdf-services.adobe.io/assets→ Works, returns a valid assetID (e.g., urn:aaid:AS:UE1:xxxx).3) Conversion to PDFPOST https://pdf-services.adobe.io/operation/createpdfHeaders: { "Authorization": "Bearer [token]", "x-api-key": "[client_id]", "Content-Type": "application/json" }  Body (latest attempt): { "intent": "createpdf", "inputs": [ { "assets": [ { "assetID": "urn:aaid:AS:UE1:xxxx", "type": "application/vnd.adobe.asset+zip" } ], "type": "application/vnd.adobe.input+zip", "params": { "pageLayout": { "size": "A4", "orientation": "portrait" }, "includeHeaderFooter": false } } ], "outputs": [{ "type": "application/pdf" }] } → ❌ Always returns: {

I have the code for the PDF embed correct.  I hosted raw PDF renders and when I plug in the embeded software it initially renders and then stops.  Copilot and Grok tell me that Adobe is blocking the rendering, which is what it looks like to me.  I have tried to delete to the credential in order to generate it anew for the url (maybe using the *.domain.org wildcard format, instead of using the www.domain.org format).  Right now it is not letting me delete the credential as it says things are connected (maybe it will take hours or a day to process that there are not any more locations of the api).

hello I'm trying to find pricing information for the Adobe PDF Services API. I've submitted a sales inquiry but haven't received a response yet. I know that there is only 500 API hits available but now i need to increase this limit

Different credentials work correctly for me with vev.design, so this error comment does not really make sense.  It says, "This application domain (https://editor.vev.design) is not authorized to use the provided PDF embed API Client ID"

Hi Team,We are using Adode Embedded API to show the editable pdf in the Netsuite. With that we are able to display the pdf and able to enter the data into that and save into the server. But actual problem facing with updating the e-sign of different customers into signature column in the pdf. Please provide a solution on updating sign into the existing pdf and save into server. Please provide a solution on this. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,I've created an account to be able to test some features of the API (As part of a Microsoft Power Automate workflow). However, I'm unable to sucessfully Get Credentials. On the desktop I'm met with:I've tried on my iPad too and met with a different, but also unsucessful message:Is there a step I'm missing or should I wait 24hrs and try again?Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm seeing today that this message pops up intermittently when opening a pdf with the embed pdf api."This application domain (...) is not authorized to use the provided PDF Embed API Client ID." I'm pretty sure it wasn't happening before today.

Hello!  We have a Power Automate flow that was previously working fine, we were merging and creating 200-300 PDFs with no issue.  Last week, we started running into issues so we reached out to Microsoft Support and they said that we should address this with Adobe on their forums, so here we are.  Telemetry is below from Microsoft:  Any help is appreciated!{ "method": "POST", "url": "https://power-apis-usgov001-sovereign.azure-apihub.us/apim/adobepdftools/shared-adobepdftools-2be80…, "backendResponseCode": 429, "responseCode": 429, "responseSize": 966, "cache": "none", "backendTime": 924, "requestSize": 535626, "apiId": "adobepdftools", "operationId": "CombinePDF", "productId": "ApiHub", "clientProtocol": "HTTP/1.1", "backendProtocol": "HTTP/1.1", "apiRevision": "1", "clientTlsVersion": "1.3", "clientTlsCipherSuite": "TLS_UNK0_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384", "responseHeaders": { "x-ms-dlp-re": "-|-", "x-ms-dlp-gu": "-|-",

HiCan the free tier be used for production environments if we are oly sing less than 500 api calls per month? Before accessing these services, an account was created to log into developer console(https://developer.adobe.com/console) using enterprise email and the account type shows as Pesonal. This api is now used in power automate to merge pdf files. Thanks

I'm trying to find pricing information for the Adobe PDF Services API. I've submitted a sales inquiry but haven't received a response yet. I understand there's a 500-document option available, and I'd like to know the cost for converting 2,000 PDF documents per month to docx using this service.Thanks for your helpRegards

I need more Adobe PDF Services API calls for a workflow in AWS, my team is counting on me and sales isn't responding.

If a PDF is already tagged, what happens when it is run through the Auto-tag API? Are they left unchanged, are they deleted and re-generated, or are they augmented?Is there a best practice for deleting existing tags before using Auto-tag? TYVM

Hi everyone,I’m using Adobe PDF Services API with NestJS to process scanned PDFs.My goal is to run OCR on the scanned file, then extract structured text and layout information for rendering in a Flutter frontend.However, I’ve noticed that sometimes the entire page is treated as one large image, and no text is extracted — even though the PDF clearly contains readable text after OCR.This causes layout issues in my Flutter app, where the image layer overlaps or replaces text.Implementation details const pollingURL = await pdfServices.submit({ job }); const pdfServicesResponse = await pdfServices.getJobResult({ pollingURL, resultType: OCRResult });Extract step:const params = new ExtractPDFParams({ elementsToExtract: [ExtractElementType.TEXT, ExtractElementType.TABLES], addCharInfo: true, getStylingInfo: true, elementsToExtractRenditions: [ ExtractRenditionsElementType.FIGURES, ExtractRenditionsElementType.TABLES, ], });! The issueFor some scanned PDFs, Adobe

I’m facing an issue reading text from the PDF using the Adobe's OCR API. Even after performing preprocessing through the API, the text remains unreadable. Could anyone please suggest how to extract or read text from P&ID symbols effectively?

I have a side project that allows users to do question-answering over their collection of pdfs. I'm using adove pdf APIs to extract the content of the pdf. I'm using adobe because it gives good structured output.Today I opened the billing page on my aws and seen that i have a bill of $3,400. I have 3,000 registered users on my tool and they may have uploaded 20,000 pdfs combined. So even in that case $3,400 bill for 20,000 pdf processing is too much.I seen the pricing of the service and it is somewhere around $1 per 100 pages. For other services adobe charge per 50 pages but for extract api it charges per 5 pages. Its not good. Adobe should lower their costs or charge as per 50 pages $0.05 just like their other APIs.

Is it possible to give the upload temp file url as input to the compression API. Getting a 500 error for that. Below is my code:- $ch = curl_init('https://pdf-services-ue1.adobe.io/operation/compresspdf');curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['x-api-key: ' . $client_id,'Authorization: Bearer ' . $accessToken,]);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, ['file' => new CURLFile($upload['tmp_name'], 'application/pdf', $upload['name'])//temp file]);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); // capture headerscurl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); // (optional) for debugging$response = curl_exec($ch);$header_size = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);$header = substr($response, 0, $header_size);$body = substr($response, $header_size);curl_close($ch);

Hello, Sorry if this is not in the right forum to voice this issue in, but to start off, I have been running a Power Automate Cloud flow using both the "Convert PDF to List of Images" and the "Convert PDF to Image" actions from the Adobe PDF Services Connector to turn a PDF into a PNG file.I've noticed that starting about 3 weeks ago the resulting PNG quality from the conversions have fallen. Fallen, as in the saturation level has been reduced in the PNG leaving colors looking darker, and the text is more pixelated in the PNG than in the original PDF. Has this happened to anyone else too, and has there been any fixes to this yet?

Hello everyone,i hope this is the right place to ask my specific question.As questioned long time ago on Community Board: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-services-api-discussions/math-equation-extraction-from-pdf/td-p/13033193 https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-services-api-discussions/pdf-extract-api-math-image-extraction/td-p/14512088 the question is still ongoing. How to extract math formulars as separate image from a PDF.As example we can take Nr. 2 of the preceding question.In the Example Project i don't found my anwer: https://github.com/adobe/PDFServices.NET.SDK.Samples Perhaps there other solutions, or it is not now implemented as I expected ...Could anyone help me?

Hi Team,I’d like to understand how the Adobe Acrobat PDF Extract API identifies the structure of a PDF document.Does it rely on OCR-based detection, or does it use other layout or heuristic-based methods for identifying elements such as paragraphs, lists, tables, and headings?Could you please share some insights or documentation references about how the API determines and classifies these structural elements?Thanks,Sathish

Hi everyone, I client of mine wants to electronically seal PDFs in SharePoint.Their preference would be to use Power Automate with the Adobe PDF Services Connector and SwissSign as the TSP. According to the AATL List, SwissSign is supported (Adobe Approved Trust List Members, Acrobat) However, when using the PowerAutomate action to electronically seal a document, the TSP-Name dropdown only allows one of these choices:- ENTRUST- INTESI GROUP- GLOBAL SIGN- TRUST PRO    How can we use SwissSign as the TSP with the PowerAutomate action?  Thanks for any pointers!

Hi, I’ve been testing the PDF Services API (exportpdf operation) to convert PDFs into PowerPoint (PPTX), and I’ve run into an issue with fonts.In our PDFs, we’re using Roboto and Inter-Bold, and I’ve double-checked that they’re embedded in the PDF metadata. When I send the file through the API (tested with both the Node.js SDK pdfservices-node-sdk and the Python SDK, hitting pdf-services.adobe.io/operation/exportpdf), the output PPTX doesn’t keep those fonts. Instead, every text element defaults to Arial, and the spacing/layout looks off as well.I went through the API documentation and options but couldn’t find anything about controlling or overriding fonts. From what I can see, there aren’t any parameters exposed to handle this.Has anyone here run into the same problem? Is font preservation supported in PDF → PPTX conversions, or is it expected that custom fonts get replaced? Any guidance or workarounds would be super helpful — we need to preserve brand typography in client prese

The service has been working great most of the time but for this one attached PDF we cant process it.  After about 90 seconds of polling every 3 seconds for the job status we get this: {"error"=>{"code"=>"REQUEST_TIMEOUT", "message"=>"The operation has timed out, please try after some time.;", "status"=>500}, "status"=>"failed"} Unfortunately this message doesn't tell us anything about what might be wrong with the extract or what to do.  I also checked the console logs and it doesnt appear to actually log any of the PDF requests we have made, which is odd.  I would have thought there would be a log of API requests with details. Anyway, anyone know why this PDF is causing issues?
