Hello,

I get a OSError: [WinError 17] impossible to move file while trying to extract text from pdf.

Here's the output from VSCode:

 

INFO:adobe.pdfservices.operation.pdfops.extract_pdf_operation:All validations successfully done. Beginning ExtractPDF operation execution
INFO:adobe.pdfservices.operation.pdfops.extract_pdf_operation:Extract Operation Successful - Transaction ID: mzOTh1xDTJpUOhSDxX5FlL2Cv6lKeS1Z

OSError: [WinError 17] Impossible de déplacer le fichier vers un lecteur de disque différent: 'C:\\Users\\zepef\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\extractSdkResult\\49fb0eb16a5911ecb66ec0b88376b18c.zip' -> 'e:\\LocalRepos\\Projects\\kgc-book-club\\pdfservices-python-sdk-samples\\output\\ExtractTextInfoFromPDF.zip'

 

Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanx,

PEF

I am responding to my own question a few hours before 2022, strange isn't it ?

The only way I found to have it to work was to move my entire project on c: drive. os.rename() does not let you move files around drives you have to use shutils instead. I am not allowed (yet) to modify Adobe's (excellent) code 😉

 Happy new year !!!
