Hi community, I'm trying to convert an existing PDF to compliance A (PDF/A), is there a way to achieve this with the PDFServicesSDK package in C#? I can't find any reference and Copilot is totally hallucinating with that one Thanks!

Using the PDF Embed API, works pretty good, except the "full scree" button does not work on the iPhone. Can anyone help or offer a workaround? thanks

Hello all,I'm trying to simply Merge an array of 3 dynamic PDFs from Sharepoint, but when it comes to the Adobe Merge PDFs action, it simply stalls out and does not work - what am I doing wrong? Any guidance here would be very much so appreciated! I've been following these two resources:https://blog.developer.adobe.com/merging-documents-using-microsoft-power-automate-69a68e46081bhttps://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-services-api-discussions/merge-pdf-power-automate/m-p/14347140to no avail, sadly.

Is it possible to use the the Adobe API to create scans from photos - just like the app www.camscanner.com but from images via API? Use Case:My clients submit photos of physical documents via a contact form.The contact form triggers a webhook.Now I want to use an API to extract the physical document from the photo and format it nicely in a PDF file - just like CamScanner. How is this possible, using the Adobe API?

Hi,I’m using Adobe PDF Services SDK v4.2 (.NET) to extract content from PDFs.I request the ExtractElementType.FIGURES type, and in the resulting JSON I correctly see "Path": "//Document/Sect/Figure" entries — so the figure elements are detected.However, the .zip file returned by the API does not include a /figures/ folder nor any PNG image files.I understand that IncludeElementRenditions() is required to extract those images, but it’s not available in SDK 4.2.Can you confirm:When will a new SDK version (e.g., 5.x) with IncludeElementRenditions() be available on NuGet?Is there any workaround to extract image files from FIGURES using the current SDK?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all, I have a couple of questions relative to the use of the PDF Services API of Adobe:- In regards with GDPR regulations, do you know if Adobe stores the PDF documents that are being created when we use the service?- Is there a way to retrieve the documents generated somewhere? The only menu I seen from my project page is the insight, and this only counts API calls made.- My company contractualized through Amazon Web Services, and with our current consumption of the API (80 calls a day) I have never been able to retrieve our invoiced consumption. Any ideas as how we can be charged by Adobe? Thank you very much in advance for your advices. Kind Regards,Charles

Hi Everyone, hope you're doing well!I'm not too technical, so I apologize in advance if this seems like a silly question, but I've been trying to figure this out for hours, and your replies would be greatly appreciated.I have the attached flow on Power Automate. I'm building it step by step, but essentially, I want to split PDF files into individual pages, so each file contains one page, multiplied by X.When using the 'When a file is created or modified (properties only)' trigger, I encounter an issue (as shown below), where it says the file extension needs to be PDF. However, when I check the original document, it is a PDF.I noticed that with the 'When a file is created or modified (properties only)' trigger, the output is application/json, and I think this might be causing the error.I'd like to know how I can work around this error. I would prefer to keep the trigger as I'm planning to incorporate splitting PDFs into a larger flow, and I like the way this trigger works.  &n

I want to open PDF files in sharepoint to open in the app by default. We installed the Adobe Acrobat add-in for Microsoft, but it opens in the browser.  I want to change the default setting behavior to always open in the "app". The SharePoint site setting is enabled for applications to open in the app/ instead of online. any thoughts?  

I have a use case that requires generating bills of sale for customers. My current PDF template includes form fields, which I’m attempting to utilize for programmatically creating PDFs from a web client. The goal is to generate bills of sale in PDF format with customer data entered through the web client. I'm experimenting with the PDF Services API except I can't seem to find how to download the modified PDF. Here are the steps I'm currently doing: PDF Services AuthenticationGetting Signed URIUploading PDF Asset (bill of sale template)Modifying uploaded PDF template using "Import PDF Form Data" methodAll of this is returning a HTTP status code of 200 but I just can't figure out how to download the modified PDF now.

Hi, I've been working with the Adobe PDF Services API and ran in a peculiar clash of terms.  We are trying to cross reference the contents of the structuredData.json of the Extract API and the AutoTag xlsx report.  They both contain ObjectID's.  However, they do not refer to the same objects or even overlap in some cases. I have an autotag report with a list of figures.  The ObjectID's of the figures don't even exist in the structuredData.json. What is the difference between these two ways of looking at the content of the PDF we are manipulating vis the Services API. Much thanks! Gabriel

https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/dcsdk_io/viewSDK/howtos_comments.html#annotation-schema `selector.boundingBox` and `selector.quadPoints` - What do they mean, what is the point of reference? When I use them inawait apis.gotoLocation(pageNumber, 0, here); I can't hit with an annotation position.I want the top edge of the viewer to be flush with the top of the annotation. How to do it?

Hello everyone I'm creating a flow with PowerAutomate and PDF service API to extract data automatically from PDF files. The problem is that I need to extract the first page only and not all the document (which contain 15 pages). The other problem I'm facing is that the output of PDF service API is a Excel file but I would like to compile the data in Excel online data base.  Thanks for your help 

Hi All - I am trying to understand if Captivate, either Classic or New can create a word document that has the images and the steps taken (mouse clicks) between each of the images. When I use the Export to word, all I get are columns of data (see below screenshot), but no images of the screen. The data is not particularly helpful either.
