Combine Two PDFs Into One

with Adobe

Merge two uploaded PDFs into a single PDF, in order.

  2. Request a pre-signed upload URI and asset ID for the second source PDF, which is then PUT to the returned uploadUri out of band.
  3. Submit an asynchronous combinePDF job that merges the two uploaded PDFs in order. Returns 201 with an in-progress job status.
  4. Poll the combinePDF job until it is no longer in progress, looping back while the status remains "in progress".
  5. Resolve a pre-signed download URI for the merged output PDF.
