Depends on the types of things that you are needing to do and the size of the changes that you are trying to change it to.
If you are simply trying to resize for example from a landscape to portrait, tools like Generative Expand in Photoshop can be a great way to size images to a new dimension and Firefly can fill in the space you don't have in images. There are limits to the resolution though, as it generates 1024x1024 pixels, so for certain things you may need to use Generative Expand multiple times.
If you are looking for more resizing as in making images bigger, Adobe Firefly doesn't have that. For images, you can try tools like Super Zoom which is part of Neural Filters in Photoshop which can help increase the size of images that might not have the resolution currently.
If your content is vector based, then you can resize and it should work properly to print at the new resolution, but that isn't AI involved.

Currently, Adobe Firefly Image 2 and Image 3 generate at a 2K resolution. At 300 DPI, that would mean:
Widescreen (16:9) -> 8.96 in x 5.12 in @ 300 ppi
Square (1:1) -> 6.82 in x 6.82 in @ 300 ppi
Portrait (3:4) -> 5.97 in x 7.8 in @ 300 ppi
If you are needing a higher resolution than that, then I would recommend trying to use Super Zoom as part of Neural Filters in Photoshop. That can easily double or even triple your resolution, which is fine for many print sizes.
Depending on the type of image you are also generating, if it is a more illustrative generation, you can also taking the image into Illustrator and using Image Trace to turn it into a vector image, which would give you infinite scaling.

Hi @williamr41166379 ,
I was able to produce this effect. There isn't any reason you wouldn't be able to do this. More than likely it is something in Word. Sometimes things can be strange in Word it is stripping out styling, so try:
Add the Was: £{{BeforeTag}}
Add a space after the last }.
Add the strikethrough for the tag and the space like this: {{BeforeTag}} .
Then remove the space.
The other thing you can try is doing a character style.

Hi @rehanm ,
From your screenshot, it looks like your credentials are part of an enterprise account. As it currently stands, you can only access Adobe PDF Services via your enterprise credentials if: 1) your enterprise account is entitled to Adobe PDF Services API (in other words, you have purchased it) AND 2) your user has been provisioned by your Admin Console admin to be able to access the PDF Services API.
Your other alternatives are to either start a trial using an Adobe ID (Personal ID) or subscribe via AWS Marketplace using a Personal ID.

Hi @defaultuurm3vtijznq ,
I moved your conversation to the Adobe Acrobat forums instead of Acrobat Services APIs as your question appears to be centered around Acrobat desktop.

Hi @Let Me Freelance ,
PDF Embed API does not do e-signatures. Acrobat Sign does e-signatures and you can embed either using Web Forms (which you can iFrame into your page) or via API.

There has been an update to Adobe PDF Embed API since this thread originally opened. When you open a PDF as a portfolio, it does read the attachments of the portfolio which you can find on the right-hand toolbar. However, If you want to view the attachments, you do need to download them, it doesn't show them in the viewer.
This isn't exactly what I imagine you want, but it is better than what it was previously as it does allow you to see the contents of the attachment files. I haven't tried this, but you might be able to capture the download even.

Hi @Cynohub257304986ue0 ,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues. Your videos don't quite give us all the information that we would need to diagnose, however one of the more common issues has to do with CORS. If the Web Viewer or the location where your PDF is stored does not support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), then it may have an issue loading. This is 100% on the browser-side, we can't do anything within the library because it is a client-side library.
There could be other issues, but it would require us seeing in more detail the code being used to embed within your app to determine other indicators.

I understand where you are coming from. I will provide this feedback back to your product team.
The daily rate limit for Word add-in is not related to your key generated in the Developer Console. Anyone with an Adobe ID can use the Word add-in to test a template, it is not tied to a specific API key.

Hi @Jesus25263008ezt6 ,
It sounds like what you are looking for would be better offered by Adobe Acrobat Sign. Similar to PDF Embed API, it can be embedded into a web page and can also support both electronic signatures, electronic signatures with identity verification, and digital signatures.

The reason you are receiving this is that you likely used your Enterprise ID for signing up for the trial of Adobe PDF Services API. We do not currently offer trials for Enterprise credentials, you must use a Personal Adobe ID for a trial.
Log out from adobe.com
If you have a personal Adobe ID associated with your email address, log in with your personal credentials. Otherwise, go to https://account.adobe.com/ and click Create an account.
Then create your credentials for Adobe PDF Services API with those credentials.
You will only be able to associate your Adobe PDF Services API credentials with your enterprise ID if you purchase Adobe PDF Services API and attach it to the same ETLA license you have your enterprise ID associated with.

Your question should be in the Acrobat Sign community.
You have two options:
If you are using a "wait" type of method, typically 3-5 seconds is a enough time.
You can also use webhooks to push a notification when an agreement is sent. You can set your scope to that specific agreement and that way prevents you from needing to do polling.

Adobe PDF Services API is a cloud-based service. When you use any of the actions, your documents are uploaded to the cloud services for processing, and the result is returned. Documents are stored temporarily for processing, but they are transient, and no long-term storage is greater than 24 hours. All data is encrypted at rest and in motion.
You can learn more about application security here:

There are a lot of variables that can go into your performance:
Your source documents. Some while may seem simple can be difficult to process. Images, fonts are all factors in this.
Connection: Because you are uploading documents and then processing them, size of documents and the bandwidth of your application can be a factor. Data centers are in the US, and if you are connecting internationally, there may be more latency.
In regards to DocumentMergeOperation (or what we will call Document Generation API) has two processes: it generates the Word document and converts it to PDF. You will find that converting to a Word document can be faster.
Several improvements will be coming to the service soon, such as transient documents that multiple actions can be applied, which may improve your performance.

To add to @Raymond Camden 's comment,
In the sample code there is an example that has those parameters:
Credentials credentials = Credentials.serviceAccountCredentialsBuilder()
.withClientId("CLIENT_ID")
.withClientSecret("CLIENT_SECRET")
.withPrivateKey("PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_CONTENTS")
.withOrganizationId("ORGANIZATION_ID")
.withAccountId("ACCOUNT_ID")
.build();

Hi @Li23979650t7px ,
I was exploring your scenario and here is the flow that I created for your similar scenario. A couple additions I made were:
Added a condition to check if it had attachments
Cleared the variable with each cycle
Used the raw input to add the array into the Merge PDF view.
Hope this helps.

Split configuration depends on what you choose as split type.
In your screenshot, you are splitting the document into PDFs that are 1 page per PDF.
If you choose Number of Split Files, if you have a 20 page document, then putting "2" will give you two 10 page documents.
If you set it to an Array of Page Range, then setting [1-2, 5-6] will return documents with those page ranges.

Looking at your last screenshot, you probably need to click on the little [T] icon on the right of File Content to turn it into raw mode.
Then insert the following:
[
[varPDF]
]
Replacing [varPDF] with your varPDF variable, but make sure you have the brackets on the outside because you are essentially attaching your content to an array.

Hi @vikas9904 ,
Adobe PDF Services API is currently only offered as a cloud-based service. When you use our PDF Services API, your document is uploaded along with what you want to do to the document (convert/OCR, etc). However, the entire service is transient. None of your data is stored and resides on the service after the document is processed.
For more information on the infrastructure, see here.

It is most likely because you have unescaped quotes.
When you are inserting the variable in your action, don't include quotes around your variable.
If that doesn't work, then you might need to format your data before it goes in.

Hi @David24910445a2yl ,
That does seem like an odd issue. Is this happening with all of your PDFs or one specific one? Would you be willing to share a copy of a problematic document? I'd love to share it with our engineering team to understand. You can DM me if that is more comfortable.
