    You have to generate a client ID if you wish to use a web server. You can set the domain as localhost.

    Please try creating credentials from https://www.adobe.io/apis/documentcloud/dcsdk/gettingstarted.html

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you for using PDF Embed API. The error seems to indicate that your webpage domain is not authorized to use the client ID configured in the code. Would be great if you could check and confirm if the client ID is used with the correct domain.

    Unfortunately I have not been able to set the credentials to localhost to test out the new API. And I cannot risk putting it in our production domain. So what would be a suitable solution? Thanks
