Adobe PDF Services API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Adobe PDF Services API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Adobe PDF Services API provides a robust set of tools for manipulating and managing PDF files. With this API, you can create, convert, combine, export, and manipulate PDFs directly in Pipedream. The Pipedream platform enables you to build automated workflows that can interact with this API to streamline document-centric processes, such as generating reports, archiving files, or extracting data from PDFs into other formats.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
adobe_pdf_services: {
type: "app",
app: "adobe_pdf_services",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"mediaType": `application/pdf`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://pdf-services.adobe.io/assets`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.adobe_pdf_services.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
"x-api-key": `${this.adobe_pdf_services.$auth.client_id}`,
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},

Authentication#
Adobe PDF Services uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Adobe PDF Services account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Adobe PDF Services and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Adobe PDF Services API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
- accessToken
