FAQ

Do we need Acrobat installed on servers to use PDF Services API?

No. The Adobe PDF Services API is a cloud-based REST API. You do not need any Adobe software installed on your servers. It handles PDF creation, conversion, OCR, and extraction entirely in the cloud.

Is the PDF Extract API better than standard OCR?

Yes. Adobe's PDF Extract API uses AI to understand document structure — accurately identifying tables, paragraphs, headings, lists, and reading order. It outputs clean, structured JSON data rather than raw text, making downstream processing significantly easier.

Can you automate PDF contract generation from our CRM data?

Yes. We use Adobe Document Generation API to merge dynamic JSON data from Salesforce, HubSpot, or your custom CRM with Word templates — producing branded, pixel-perfect PDF contracts automatically with zero manual formatting.

Can PDF Services handle large document volumes?

Yes. We architect batch processing pipelines with queueing systems and parallel processing to handle thousands of documents per hour. Rate limiting and retry logic are built in to ensure reliability at enterprise scale.

Do you integrate Adobe Sign for e-signature workflows?

Yes. We integrate Adobe Acrobat Sign APIs for automated document routing, signature collection, audit trails, and archival — enabling fully digital contract workflows from generation to signed execution without manual intervention.

Can the PDF Extract API pull data from scanned paper documents?

Yes. The API includes OCR capabilities that convert scanned images and photographed documents into searchable, extractable text. Combined with the AI-powered structure recognition, it accurately extracts tables and key-value pairs from even complex scanned forms.

What programming languages does PDF Services API support?

Adobe provides official SDKs for Node.js, Java, .NET, and Python. We have production experience with all four and select the best fit based on your existing backend stack and deployment environment.

What is the typical timeline and cost for PDF automation?

A standard PDF automation project (e.g., invoice extraction or contract generation) takes 3 to 6 weeks. Complex multi-step workflows involving OCR, extraction, generation, and e-signature routing take 6 to 10 weeks. We offer fixed-price engagements for well-defined scopes.
