Invalid Client ID error while using /pdf-services.adobe.io/operation/convert API

Question

Hi ,I am using /pdf-services.adobe.io/operation/convert to convert word docx to pdf . It gives error Invalid client ID when trying from POSTMAN.Is it because the scope is missing ? in the trial plan I have only openid, AdobeID, DCAPI scopes. Do we need pdf services read/ write scope for this operation .  Any suggestions will be helpful .

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

Thank you for reaching out. The "Invalid client ID" error you're encountering could indeed be related to the scopes assigned to your client ID. For the Adobe PDF Services API, the required scopes typically include `openid`, `AdobeID`, and `DCAPI`, which you already have. However, for specific operations like converting a Word document to PDF, you might also need additional scopes such as `pdf_services_read` and `pdf_services_write.

To resolve this issue, please ensure that your client ID has the necessary scopes. You can check and update the scopes in the Adobe Developer Console under your project's credentials section.

If you continue to face issues, please provide more details about your setup or any error messages you receive, for further investigation.
