Export PDF To Another Format

with Adobe

Convert an uploaded PDF into a target document or image format.

  1. Request a pre-signed upload URI and asset ID for the source PDF, which is then PUT to the returned uploadUri out of band.
  2. Submit an asynchronous exportPDF job that converts the uploaded PDF into the requested target format. Returns 201 with an in-progress job status.
  3. Poll the exportPDF job until it is no longer in progress, looping back while the status remains "in progress".
  4. Resolve a pre-signed download URI for the exported output asset.

  • targetFormat: Desired output format (docx, doc, pptx, xlsx, rtf, jpeg, or png).

  • jobID: The job identifier taken from the exportPDF response Location header, used to poll status.
