PDF Extract API (Python): QuickStarts - Step Three: Creating the application

[Maria Iriarte]

I am running the extract.py code as set in the PDF Extract API (Python): QuickStarts - Step Three: Creating the application. I get the following error message:

File "c:\Users\34679\Desktop\Adobe Developer\extract.py", line 24
.with_client_id('PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Please, could you help? Thank you very much.

I believe it is just a copy issue from the web page. Remove the white space in front and use tab to bring it back, or get it all on one line.

Thank you Raymond, it worked!!!

I have this reported. The ideal for the Quick Starts is that it should always just work, as is. (Assuming you have creds and copied the source PDF.)

Dear Raymond, yes, I did everything exactly as was explained on the website. I even used the option to copy the code directly from the website using the icon on the top right. Thank you so much again for your support 🙂
