I'm trying to extract tables from a PDF with the PDF Services API, but when I execute the ExtractPDFOperation (which is not at all unusally set up so far as I can see) I get the error message:

ERROR: adove.pdfservices.operation.internal.api.cpf_api:Failed in parsing Extract Result

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\ERIN\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\adobe\pdfservices\operation\internal\service\extract_pdf_api.py",  line52, in download_and_save

extract_data_parser.parse()

file_name = rdata.file_name+rdata.rendition_extension

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType) to str.

and the entire IDE then freezes completely. Does anyone have any ide what is going wrong or how to fix it?

I'm very new to Python, can you tell me which IDE you are using? I'm assuming it isn't called "Python IDE" but I could be wrong. 🙂

Hey,

I'm getting the same error, my IDE doesn't freeze though, it just spits out a very long error message after this one containing the entire structured JSON response - which I assume it what's causing the poster's IDE to freeze.

I think the root issue here, which I am getting as well, is the type error happening in the Adobe API which is shown in the stack trace above.

For me, it happens with some PDFs but not with others, I can't run enough calls through the API to pinpoint what's problematic about the PDFs, but I could send some that are giving me this issue 🙂

thanks,

Oz
