PDF Services OCR PDF

with Adobe Creative Suite

Upload a scanned PDF, apply OCR, and resolve the searchable download URI.

  1. Request an upload asset for the scanned source PDF.
  2. Submit an OCR operation against the uploaded PDF asset in the chosen locale. The API returns a job id for polling.
  3. Poll the OCR operation status, repeating while it is in progress and branching once it is done or failed.
  4. Retrieve the searchable PDF asset metadata and a fresh temporary download URI for the output file.
  5. Surface the error details from the failed OCR operation.
What you'll need to have ready
