New PDF Services REST API and Waiting for result

[Stefan22618829j4fh]

Hi,

Iam maintaining a connector to Adobe DocGen, Extract and PDF Services for the OutSystems Low Code Platform https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/12582/adobe-pdf-services.

For now, it still uses the old way of using multipart posts. After reading now through the new REST API i noticed that there isn't an option anymore to wait for the processing result. Is this correct, or did i just miss it?

Thank you,

Stefan

Sorry for the delay. Yes, you are right. Instead you can poll. If you need an example, I have one here: https://medium.com/adobetech/announcing-the-new-adobe-document-services-rest-apis-8d85951176cf

Thank you @Raymond Camden. Iam fine with polling, also the wait option was pretty nice in case for small document generation jobs (simple letters or alike). (I maintain an integration component for the OutSystems Low Code Application Platform - Adobe PDF-Services - Overview | OutSystems and slowly moving to the new REST based endpoints).

Do you know if there are plans for adding webhook subscriptions to the service? Iam not sure, but Adobe IO Events sounds like a potential candiate for that. That would be a real cool feature.

Best

Stefan

I can't speak to upcoming updates, but I can say webhooks have been noted as something we should consider adding.
