Add encryption and/or restrict permissions on a PDF File

Report · Jul 26, 2021

We have tried using the following API from the documentation link (https://documentcloud.adobe.com/document-services/index.html#post-protectPDF)

Protect :

Details :

Endpoint : https://cpf-ue1.adobe.io/ops/{{create}}?respondWith=%7B%22reltype%22%3A%20%22http%3A%2F%2Fns.adobe.c...

Error : {"error": {"code": "Not Found", "message": "Oops. Something went wrong. Check your URI and try again.", "details": { "error_code": "404404" } } }

We declared the global variable create with value :create in Postman.

We were able to retrieve access token, but once used with the above endpoint we were getting the mentioned error. Please do let us know what is the issue with the given endpoint.

Let us know if you need any more information regarding the API call we tried.

I have spoken with the internal team and here is our recommendation for the best overall experience:

We built the SDKs as a wrapper around the REST APIs, they work very well and are simple to use. That said, if you must use a programming language that is not amonst the supported SDKs, then it would be best if you used command line from your chosen langage and make your calls to the APIs using the SDKs. Even better, use one of the supported programming languages (Java, Node.js, or .NET). This should eliminate the complexity issues you are facing while attempting to access the REST APIs directly and will also future proof your application if we make changes to the REST APIs.
