i need to parse the actual content for the real title... lots of time the metadata gives wrong one.

I think I understand but let me check. The title in the metadata isn't the text that would be recognized by a human as the title of the document if they were reading it on screen. If that's the case, take a look at our PDF Tools / Extract API.

Hi thanks for your reply.

 

basically i used the previewPDF function in window.AdobeDC.View class to render a pdf from a URL. 

 

and after it loads the PDF automatically, i want to get a raw arrayBuffer content of the loaded PDF so that i could do some processing on it. 

 

So i wonder if there is an API for requesting the raw pdf buffer.

 

I know that annotationManager.removeAnnotationsFromPDF returns the PDF buffer, but to use this function, i have to set the "IncludePDFAnnotations" to true, which I don't want, cos the additional save button will appear...

I'm curious to hear what preprocessing you are doing. Is it something that makes sense to add to Embed API? 


basically i wish to parse the pdf raw data to extract some useful information such as the title for instance.
