Issue with uploading PDF file in API

Report · Jan 23, 2023

Hi,

I am working on converting PDF files into images thanks to the Adobe PDF Services API. As you may already know, the conversion consists of 6 consecutive requests :

POST : Exchange JWT for Access token ;
POST : Get upload pre-signed URI ;
PUT : Upload asset to cloud provider ;
POST : Create job (convert into image) ;
GET : Fetch status ;
GET : Download asset.

All of the above API’s are working perfectly fine in Postman. But now that I have built the corresponding automation in SAP Cloud Factory, I’m getting the following error at step 5 (Fetch status) :

The overall automation looks like this :

After a couple of tests, I have reasons to believe the issue might come from step 3 (Upload asset), which I have built using the following code :

I think the body is what is causing trouble, and even though it’s a pretty straightforward piece of code, there’s something my low level of coding stops me from doing correctly. Note that in Postman I upload the file using the binary option.

Thanks for your assistance on this.

Kind regards,

LM.

I don't think you can just strignify the PDF and have it work. You're going to need to submit the file as formdata.
