Generate a Document From a Template

with Adobe

Merge JSON data into a Word template to produce a PDF or DOCX.

  1. Request a pre-signed upload URI and asset ID for the DOCX template, which is then PUT to the returned uploadUri out of band.
  2. Submit an asynchronous generateDocument job that merges the JSON data into the uploaded template. Returns 201 with an in-progress job status.
  3. Poll the generateDocument 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 generated output document.
What you'll need to have ready
  • accessToken: OAuth 2.0 bearer access token from Adobe IMS.
  • jsonDataForMerge: The JSON data to merge into the template.
  • outputFormat: Desired output format (pdf or docx).
  • jobID: The job identifier taken from the generateDocument response Location header, used to poll status.
