How Tos

The samples and documentation here should get you quickly up and running with the PDF Services SDK. These code examples illustrate how to perform PDF actions using the SDK, including:

  • Creating a PDF from multiple formats, including HTML, Microsoft Office documents, and text files
  • Exporting a PDF to other formats or an image
  • Combining entire PDFs or specified page ranges
  • Using OCR to make a PDF file searchable with a custom locale
  • Compress PDFs with compression level and Linearize PDFs
  • Protect PDFs with password(s) and Remove password protection from PDFs
  • Common page operations, including inserting, replacing, deleting, reordering, and rotating
  • Splitting PDFs into multiple files
  • Extract PDF as JSON: the content, structure & renditions of table and figure elements along with Character Bounding Boxes
  • Get the properties of a PDF file like page count, PDF version, file size, compliance levels, font info, permissions and more
  • Improving the accessibility of PDFs (Available under Early Access Program)

Service region configuration

Adobe PDF Services SDKs use US (United States) as a default region to process all the documents. Once you purchase PDF Services SDK, the SDKs can be configured to process the documents in a specified region that is listed below. Currently, PDF Services SDKs has support for the following regions :

Region CodeName
US
United States (default)
EU
Europe

In addition to the details below, you can refer to working code samples:

Available properties:

  • region: Default: US. All documents will be processed in the specified region.

Override the region property via a custom ClientConfig class:

Copied to your clipboard
ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.builder()
.setRegion(Region.EU)
.build();

Proxy Server Configuration

The Java and Node SDK enables connection to API calls through Proxy via Client Configurations. Also, it supports username and password based authentication for the proxy server. It allows the clients to use SDK within the network where all outgoing calls have to go through a proxy and are allowed only if allow-listed on the proxy. Please refer to the following sample for details.

Java

Java Proxy Server configuration

Available properties:

  • host: The proxy Server Hostname (DNS or IP Address)
  • scheme: Default: http. Scheme of the proxy server i.e. http or https.
  • port: Default: 80 for http, 443 for https. Port on which proxy server is listening.
  • username: Username for the authentication.
  • password: Password for the authentication.

Node.js

Node Proxy Server configuration

Available properties:

  • host: The proxy Server Hostname (DNS or IP Address)
  • scheme: Default: http. Scheme of the proxy server i.e. http or https.
  • port: Port on which proxy server is listening.
  • username: Username for the authentication.
  • password: Password for the authentication.

Python

Python Proxy Server configuration

Available properties:

  • host: The proxy Server Hostname (DNS or IP Address)
  • scheme: Default: http. Scheme of the proxy server i.e. http or https.
  • port: Default: 80 for http, 443 for https. Port on which proxy server is listening.
  • username: Username for the authentication.
  • password: Password for the authentication.

All these properties are wrapped within the proxyServerConfig object. Further, username and password is to be provided inside the nested object usernamePasswordCredentials.

Set the above properties using a custom ProxyServerConfig class, and use ClientConfig class to configure proxy server.

Sample showing proxy server configuration without authentication.

Copied to your clipboard
ProxyServerConfig proxyServerConfig = new ProxyServerConfig.Builder()
.withHost("PROXY_HOSTNAME")
.withProxyScheme(ProxyScheme.HTTPS)
.withPort(443)
.build();
ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.builder()
.withConnectTimeout(10000)
.withSocketTimeout(40000)
.withProxyServerConfig(proxyServerConfig)
.build();

Sample showing proxy server configuration with authentication.

Copied to your clipboard
ProxyServerConfig proxyServerConfig = new ProxyServerConfig.Builder()
.withHost("PROXY_HOSTNAME")
.withProxyScheme(ProxyScheme.HTTPS)
.withPort(443)
.withCredentials(new UsernamePasswordCredentials("USERNAME", "PASSWORD"))
.build();
ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.builder()
.withConnectTimeout(10000)
.withSocketTimeout(40000)
.withProxyServerConfig(proxyServerConfig)
.build();

Custom timeout configuration

The APIs use inferred timeout properties and provide defaults. However, the SDK supports custom timeouts for the API calls. You can tailor the timeout settings for your environment and network speed. In addition to the details below, you can refer to working code samples:

Java timeout configuration

Available properties:

  • connectTimeout: Default: 2000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds for creating an initial HTTPS connection.
  • socketTimeout: Default: 10000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds between two successive HTTP response packets.

Override the timeout properties via a custom ClientConfig class:

Copied to your clipboard
ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.builder()
.withConnectTimeout(3000)
.withSocketTimeout(20000)
.build();

.NET timeout configuration

Available properties:

  • timeout: Default: 400000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds for establishing a connection, sending a request, and getting a response.

Override the timeout properties via a custom ClientConfig class:

Copied to your clipboard
ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.ConfigBuilder()
.WithTimeout(40000)
.Build();

Node.js timeout configuration

Available properties:

  • timeout: Default: 10000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds before the request times out. If the request takes longer than timeout, the request will be aborted.

Override the timeout properties via a custom ClientConfig class:

Copied to your clipboard
const clientConfig = new ClientConfig({
timeout: 15000
})

Python timeout configuration

Available properties:

  • connectTimeout: Default: 4000. The number of milliseconds Requests will wait for the client to establish a connection to Server.
  • readTimeout: Default: 10000. The number of milliseconds the client will wait for the server to send a response.

Override the timeout properties via a custom ClientConfig class:

Copied to your clipboard
client_config = ClientConfig(
connect_timeout=4000,
read_timeout=10000
)
