Broken JSON on export

[Robert_M]

I'm trying to extract data from a PDF using Extract PDF API. I got authorisation, submission and polling working fine. However, polling returns a broken file with a JSON in the midst of it. I'm not sure how to get rid of the broken parts and just return a JSON with the text from the PDF. Has anyone faced an issue like that?

Unfortunately, I can't attach the real file because the forum won't let me.

Anyone?

So it looks like you are using the REST API directly - any reason why you aren't using one of the SDKs? The response from the REST API is a multipart form response so if you don't decode it correctly, you may get what you are seeing above.

Thanks for the response, my environment doesn't allow me to install any SDKs, so I need to resort to using REST directly. I figured out how to get gid of most of the unnecessary stuff in the file, but I'm still getting multipart. Is there a reason why REST wouldn't return a simple JSON, so that it's more usable on the web? If not, is there a way around it? I just need a JSON from the output and nothing else.
