Hi

We are looking for an integration of PDF Document Services in AEM6.5. Though I am able to convert the HTML to pdf standalone but when putting them in AEM, the Bundes are not getting resolved saying the following.

com.adobe.pdfservices.operation -- Cannot be resolved
com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.auth -- Cannot be resolved
com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.exception -- Cannot be resolved
com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.io -- Cannot be resolved
com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.pdfops -- Cannot be resolved
com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.pdfops.options.createpdf -- Cannot be resolved

I know the document services Jar file is missing. But I need a OSGI bundel for this. Do we have any pre build OSGI Bundel or we need to convert the PDF document serives Jar to OSGI?

Thanks for the question! At this time, we do not have a pre-built OSGI bundle for Adobe PDF Services API. There is the Java SDK which you can utilize. For your use-case, are you looking to use it with AEM Sites, Assets, or Forms?

Hi Ben

Thanks for the reply. I am looking at using this in the AEM Sites. We need to convert the AEM Site webpage to PDF in the fly and show the PDF to the user on the browser.

Currently I am trying to make this work using the PDF Services API but this is taking taking time as I have to call 3 APIS one after another (1. get Token, 2. create PDF, 3. get PDF) and most of the times the Last API is faling because by the time We call to get the PDF content it may be still geting processed by Adobe Cloud service and thats why we are some times getting 403 or file not found. And there is noway we can know when the 2nd call will be finished so that we can call the 3rd one.

From the sound of you three API calls, are you using the REST API or are you using the Java SDK? I ask because the SDK would simplify the step 1 and step 3.

Via REST API, there are two ways you can get the PDF back via REST API. The first way is to set your

respond-sync,wait=xxx

https://documentcloud.adobe.com/document-services/index.html#post-createPDF

This allows for the response to be provided and returned as part of your initial request. The other option is to make the separate API call asynchronously to get the output.
