PDF Services Export PDF to Word

with Adobe Creative Suite

Upload a PDF, export it to a target format, and resolve the output download URI.

  1. Request an upload asset for the source PDF, receiving an asset id and a pre-signed upload URI to PUT the PDF content to.
  2. Submit an export-PDF operation against the uploaded PDF asset to the chosen target format. The API returns a job id for polling.
  3. Poll the export operation status, repeating while it is in progress and branching once it is done or failed.
  4. Retrieve the exported asset metadata and a fresh temporary download URI for the output file.
  5. Surface the error details from the failed export operation.
What you'll need to have ready
  • targetFormat: Target output format (docx, xlsx, pptx, rtf, or txt).
  • exportOCRLocale: Locale for OCR during export if the PDF contains scanned text.
