Getting credentials

Developing with the PDF Services SDK requires an Adobe-provided credential. To get one, click HERE , and complete the workflow. Be sure to copy and save the credential values to a secure location.

During the credential creation process you'll be asked whether you'd like a Personalized Code Sample Download . Choosing Personalized preconfigures the samples with your credential and removes a few steps from your development setup process.

Step 1 : Getting the access token

PDF Services API endpoints are authenticated endpoints. Getting an access token is a two-step process :

Get Credentials Invoking PDF Services API requires an Adobe-provided credential. To get one, click here , and complete the workflow. Be sure to copy and save the credential values to a secure location.
Retrieve Access Token The PDF Services APIs require an access_token to authorize the request. Use the "Get AccessToken" API from the Postman Collection with your client_id, client_secret (mentioned in the pdfservices-api-credentials.json file downloaded in 1) to get the access_token OR directly use the below mentioned cURL to get the access_token.

REST API

curl --location 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id={{Placeholder for Client ID}}' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret={{Placeholder for Client Secret}}'
Copied to your clipboard
curl --location 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id={{Placeholder for Client ID}}' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret={{Placeholder for Client Secret}}'

Step 2 : Uploading an asset

After getting the access token, we need to upload the asset. Uploading an asset is a two-step process :

First you need to get an upload pre-signed URI by using the following API.

You can read more about the API in detail here .

REST API

curl --location --request POST 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/assets' \
--header 'X-API-Key: {{Placeholder for client_id}}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{Placeholder for token}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "mediaType": "{{Placeholder for mediaType}}"
Copied to your clipboard
curl --location --request POST 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/assets' \
--header 'X-API-Key: {{Placeholder for client_id}}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{Placeholder for token}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "mediaType": "{{Placeholder for mediaType}}"
}'

On getting a 200 response status from the above API, use the uploadUri field in the response body of the above API to upload the asset directly to the cloud provider using a PUT API call. You will also get an assetID field which will be used in creating the job.

REST API

curl --location -g --request PUT 'https://dcplatformstorageservice-prod-us-east-1.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/b37fd583-1ab6-4f49-99ef-d716180b5de4?X-Amz-Security-Token={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Security-Token}}&X-Amz-Algorithm={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Algorithm}}&X-Amz-Date={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Date}}&X-Amz-SignedHeaders={{Placeholder for X-Amz-SignedHeaders}}&X-Amz-Expires={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Expires}}&X-Amz-Credential={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Credential}}&X-Amz-Signature={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Signature}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/pdf' \
--data-binary '@{{Placeholder for file path}}'
Copied to your clipboard
curl 




    
--location -g --request PUT 'https://dcplatformstorageservice-prod-us-east-1.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/b37fd583-1ab6-4f49-99ef-d716180b5de4?X-Amz-Security-Token={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Security-Token}}&X-Amz-Algorithm={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Algorithm}}&X-Amz-Date={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Date}}&X-Amz-SignedHeaders={{Placeholder for X-Amz-SignedHeaders}}&X-Amz-Expires={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Expires}}&X-Amz-Credential={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Credential}}&X-Amz-Signature={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Signature}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/pdf' \
--data-binary '@{{Placeholder for file path}}'

Step 3 : Creating the job

To create a job for the operation, please use the assetID obtained in Step 2 in the API request body. On successful job submission you will get a status code of 201 and a response header location which will be used for polling.

For creating the job, please refer to the corresponding API spec for the particular PDF Operation .

Step 4 : Fetching the status

Once the job is successfully created, you need to poll the at the location returned in response header of Step 3 by using the following API

You can read more about the API in detail here .

REST API

curl --location -g --request GET 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/operation/compresspdf/{{Placeholder for job id}}/status' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{Placeholder for token}}' \
--header 'x-api-key: {{Placeholder for client id}}'
Copied to your clipboard
curl --location -g --request GET 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/operation/compresspdf/{{Placeholder for job id}}/status' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{Placeholder for token}}' \
--header 'x-api-key: {{Placeholder for client id}}'

Instead of using the status API to check the job status, you have the option to receive job completion notifications through Webhook. For more information, please refer the documentation .

Step 5 : Downloading the asset

On getting 200 response code from the poll API, you will receive a status field in the response body which can either be in progress , done or failed .

If the status field is in progress you need to keep polling the location until it changes to done or failed .

If the status field is done the response body will also have a download pre-signed URI in the dowloadUri field, which will be used to download the asset directly from cloud provider by making the following API call

You can read more about the API in detail here .

REST API

curl --location -g --request GET 'https://dcplatformstorageservice-prod-us-east-1.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/b37fd583-1ab6-4f49-99ef-d716180b5de4?X-Amz-Security-Token={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Security-Token}}&X-Amz-Algorithm={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Algorithm}}&X-Amz-Date={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Date}}&X-Amz-SignedHeaders={{Placeholder for X-Amz-SignedHeaders}}&X-Amz-Expires={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Expires}}&X-Amz-Credential={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Credential}}&X-Amz-Signature={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Signature}}'
Copied to your clipboard
curl --location -g --request GET 'https://dcplatformstorageservice-prod-us-east-1.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/b37fd583-1ab6-4f49-99ef-d716180b5de4?X-Amz-Security-Token={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Security-Token}}&X-Amz-Algorithm={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Algorithm}}&X-Amz-Date={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Date}}&X-Amz-SignedHeaders={{Placeholder for X-Amz-SignedHeaders}}&X-Amz-Expires={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Expires}}&X-Amz-Credential={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Credential}}&X-Amz-Signature={{Placeholder for X-Amz-Signature}}'

There you go! Your job is completed in 5 simple steps.

API reference (Javadoc)
Java Sample code
Java library . The Maven project contains the .jar file.

Authentication

Once you complete the Getting Credentials , a zip or json file automatically downloads that contains content whose structure varies based on whether you opted to download personalized code samples.

Personalized Download : Downloads the zip which contains adobe-dc-pdf-services-sdk-java-samples with a preconfigured pdfservices-api-credentials.json file.
Non Personalized Download : Downloads the pdfservices-api-credentials.json with your preconfigured credentials.

After downloading the zip, you can run the samples in the zip directly by setting up the two environment variables PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID and PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET by running the following cammands :

Windows:
- set PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR CLIENT ID>
- set PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR CLIENT SECRET>
MacOS/Linux:
- export PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR CLIENT ID>
- export PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR CLIENT SECRET>

Example pdfservices-api-credentials.json file

{
    "client_credentials": {
        "client_id": "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
        "client_secret": "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>"
    "service_principal_credentials": {
       "organization_id": "<YOUR_ORGNIZATION_ID>"
Copied to your clipboard
{
    "client_credentials": {

Maven uses pom.xml to fetch pdfservices-sdk from the public Maven repository when running the project. The .jar automatically downloads when you build the sample project. Alternatively, you can download the pdfservices-sdk.jar file, and configure your own environment.

Running the samples

The quickest way to get up and running is to download the code samples during the Getting Credentials workflow. These samples provide everything from ready-to-run sample code, an embedded credential json file, and pre-configured connections to dependencies.

Download the Java sample project .
Build the sample project with Maven: mvn clean install .
Set the environment variables PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID and PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET by running the following commands :

Windows:
- set PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR CLIENT ID>
- set PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR CLIENT SECRET>
MacOS/Linux:
- export PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR CLIENT ID>
- export PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR CLIENT SECRET>

Test the sample code on the command line.
Refer to this document for details about running samples as well as the API Reference for API details.

Command line execution is not mandatory. You can import the samples Maven project into your preferred IDE (e.g. IntelliJ/Eclipse) and run the samples from there.

Verifying download authenticity

For security reasons you may wish to confirm the installer's authenticity. To do so,

After installing the package, navigate to the .jar.sha1 file.
Calculate the hash with any 3rd party utility.
Find and open PDF Services sha1 file. Note: if you're using Maven, look in the .m2 directory.
