We are currently using embedMode as "FULL_WINDOW" with ui configs showPageControls,showZoomControl,etc set as false, still sidepanel is present. As we already have created custom toolbar, we want to hide the one coming from Adobe services Out of all embedMode, "SIZED_CONTAINER" seems to have least ui configs and it has ui most similar to our requirement but pdf pages within this mode are not scrollable As a workaround we used clip-path css property to visually hide it from user, but with tab navigation from keyboard along with links in buttons from sidepanel are also accessible. Is there a way to hide sidepanel?

The PDF extract API extracts info of different elements from a pdf an forms a JSON for it. Is there a reverse API available, which accepts the JSON in the same format as extracted above and creates a PDF using it? I am trying to replace the original text with a different text here. If not, how to create a pdf from the JSON available.

I have some questions about PDF UA and the Auto-tag API / Accessibility checker.  Does the Auto-tag API set the PDF UA document property (in any situation)? Do any of the Acrobat Services APIs set the PDF UA document property? Is there any connection between the PDF UA document property and the actual accessibility of the PDF or is it just a flag to indicate the document should be accessible? Does the Accessibility Checker report on whether the document is PDF UA compliant? AFAICT, it doesn't. Thanks,Jeff

Using the Embed API in Light Box mode and using the viewerConfig to set the ExitPDFViewerType button customization to 'Return' (rather than the default 'Close'); The return button has no margin/padding on the left side.This is clearly an error/bug as the images for that customization feature in the API documentation does show the correct spacing on the left-hand side (see attached image).Adobe bugfix required, as the Light Box embed option is an iframe so I can't use CSS or custom JS to add the correct padding.

Today, the Adobe Document Cloud API Services are down again.If you look at history, it seems like its a common thing for the API services to go down before the end of the month and just after the start of a new month. Probably most comment when people are generating their "end of month" reports. This is a critical time for companies to generate their reports.Is there a plan for Adobe to improve servies and/or recovery time during this very time sensitive period?Is there a way to PAY to get more reliable services?Please advise.

We have a pdf that has fields locked and can be unlocked with password and also there are calculated fields. When trying to open with the pdf embed api there is an error. It's working for other pdf's that we tried that don't have these kind of fields. Can we get help figuring out what the issue is. I'm not exactly sure what in the pdf might be causing it.{error: 'corruptFile', errorCode: 'std::invalid_argument,stod: no conversion', totalTime: 146}

I am an enterprise customer. Does PDF Services include the Acrobat Services API or is that a seperate offering for enterprise plans?  Is the Acrobat Services API synomyous with PDF Services API?

Basic implementation (including in the SDK demo) throws console errors that are actually affecting customizations:  https://acrobatservices.adobe.com/view-sdk-demo/index.html#/view/FULL_WINDOW/Bodea%20Brochure.pdf Uncaught (in promise) Error: No callback registered by viewer for GET_FEATURE_FLAG: There are numerous errors following. As a result, functionality that has worked for over a year (such as programatically open the annotations pane) is now not functioning and I've had to delay shipping a new feature for over a month as a result. Multiple people have posted about this and Adobe has not even suggested they're aware of it.  With no API versioning, users have to just pray Adobe doesn't include breaking changes into the PDF Embed API. Unfortunately, it seems to happen pretty consistently.  WHEN will this be fixed?  I built on top of this API because it has excellent features. But the instability is so concerning that I never would have u

We have developed a routine using the API that regularly generates images from PDFs for us. In the process, we use the “Webhook Notification” to then download the asset. However, the Adobe API is not sending the webhook.A bug? Has anyone else noticed this?

I have reached out to our Account Manager, Justin Tyagi a week ago and have yet to receive a response.  I've been through numerous support chats and phone calls, and am getting pointed in all sorts of directions.  I have yet to figure out why I can't purchase this license for one of our customers.  How can I get help with this from someone who understands this?  Thank you.

Hello,  Is the document rendered using the PDF Embedded API uploaded to Adobe Cloud Storage or transmitted outside our company boundaries? Our requirement is that the document must not be uploaded or sent outside our organization’s infrastructure. Can you confirm how the PDF Embedded API handles document data in this regard?

Hello  I'm using this operation to convert my pdf to image : https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/apis/#tag/PDF-To-ImagesThe operation works, but the resulting image quality is very low, and there is no option to control the compression level in the API body. Do you have any ideas on how to disable compression for this operation?

Hi everyone,I’m wondering if there’s any possibility of having a pay as you go or scaled pricing model for the Extract API service. I’ve come across threads discussing this topic from two or more years ago, but it seems there have been no updates so far.A flexible pricing model would make the Extract API more accessible, especially for startups, small companies, and solo entrepreneurs. Many of us would be happy to eventually pay the $25K annual fee—if we could grow into it as our usage and business expand.Has anyone heard if Adobe is considering this option?

What does the Auto-tag API do in terms of generating bookmarks?   It seems that some PDFs produce bookmarks based on the structure, and some don't.  In Acrobat, there is an ability to generate bookmarks based on the structure, but you are required to select the structure elements to be used.   The API doesn't provide a way to specify these structures. Thanks.

I exhuasted my quota of 500 document transactions with the Adobe extract API. What is timeline for the 500 quota to renew on free tier? I created Acrobat Services account and started using API on approx April 18th and now it's May 18th. Do I have access to a new batch of 500 tranactions on May 19th or does it renew by  calendar month, i.e., June 1?

HI, i'm working on this chat with pdf tool called ChatPDF.so and i am wondering can i change the output format of the pdf api into markdown format?The output format of acrobat pdf api is not suitable for LLM applications like chat pdf. I tried converting the output programmatically but this task is so complex that i gave up.It would be cool if pdf api can combine seperate excel files and image files into one single markdown file for each pdf page.If there should be an inbuilt option to get output as markdown then it would be greatly helpful for ai chat pdf applications.There is service from Mathpix that does it but i find acrobat pdf api to be better in OCR.Any advice?

Hi, I embed with Adobe API a PDF doc and all text is in English and I would like to see it in Portuguese. Thank you for any help.JMRuas

Hello.We have Excel spreadsheets with UK dates (dd/mm/yyyy).When I convert them to PDF using the API the dates come back as US (mm/dd/yyyy).This is odd as any other 3rd party method does not convert dates, and surely Adobe shouldn't be modifying contents unless specified within the API.Our client will not accept dates in that format. I have changed the endpoint to EU (https://pdf-services-ew1.adobe.io ) as per the Regional Configuration setting to no benefit. We are on the free tier but notice the sentence in the API documentation "Once you purchase PDF Services API, its APIs can be configured to process the documents in a specified region that is listed below."I'm going to assume this is the issue when on the free tier. Any help will be most appreciated. RegardsAlistair

I have created a adobe java service to create a pdf from the excel file. The excel is having the correct number formatting for the german but when it is send for the pdf generation then the pdf is showing the number format as indian number system and not the german number system.public byte[] convertExcelToPdf(byte[] excelFile) throws Exception { try { // Create PDFServices instance using the injected credentials with EU region PDFServices pdfServices = new PDFServices(adobeCredentials); // Create a temporary file from the uploaded file File tempFile = createTempFile(excelFile); try { // Create PDF using Adobe PDF Services with European locale return createPdfFromFile(tempFile, pdfServices, adobeConfig.getRegion()); } finally { // Keep the temporary file for debugging - comment out the deletion if (tempFile.exists()) { tempFile.delete(); } } } catch (Exception

お世話になっております。 Acrobat Services APIの利用について質問です。【目的】 Google Apps ScriptからサーバーサイドでAPIを呼び出し、PDFの操作（最終的には画像のオーバーレイ）を行おうとしています。【問題】 認証情報を「OAuth Server-to-Server」方式で作成し、アクセストークンの取得には成功しました。しかし、そのトークンを使ってAPIの操作（/operation/pdfpropertiesや/operation/exportpdfなど）を呼び出すと、全ての操作で401 Unauthorizedエラーが返ってきてしまい、先に進めず困っています。【状況の詳細】認証方式: OAuth Server-to-ServerClient ID: 2b05087f477a4923a3d2aae596d0937a成功する処理: Client IDとClient Secretを使ったアクセストークンの取得。失敗する処理: 取得したアクセストークンを使った、全てのAPI操作（例: /operation/pdfproperties）。正確なエラーメッセージ: Code: 401, Response: {"error":{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"Not authorised to perform the operation."}}リクエストしているスコープ: pdf_services を含んでいます。試したこと: Free Tierの利用回数（500回/月）は超過していません。【質問】 以上の状況から、アクセストークン自体は取得できているものの、PDF操作を実行するための権限（Permission）が、作成した認証情報に付与されていないのではないかと考えています。これはアカウント側の設定や、何らかの制限によるものでしょうか？あるいは、他に確認すべき点があればご教示いただけますでしょうか。よろしくお願いいたします。
