What it is
Adobe PDF Services API is a cloud service for creating, converting, and organizing PDF documents. It can create PDFs from static or dynamic HTML, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, text, image, ZIP, and URL inputs. For document generation, it merges JSON data with Word templates to produce PDF or Word documents; conditional logic and bulk generation are supported. The API can convert PDFs to supported Office formats and images, and combine, split, insert, replace, reorder, or rotate pages. It can OCR scanned PDFs so they become searchable. Listed output formats are PDF and DOCX. Integrations include Microsoft Power Automate, Workfront Fusion, and UiPath. The service is cloud-deployed and available on the web. Listed compliance standards are SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Support options include community, tickets, and documentation. The free tier includes 500 document transactions per month, with no price listed. Paid plans also have no listed price; a quote is required, and purchases are made through ETLA or VIP agreements.
