Adobe Developer API
Adobe offers an API for various PDF manipulations, including:
- Splitting and combining PDFs
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
- Inserting, deleting, replacing, and reordering pages
- Content extraction (text, tables, images)
- And more...
The free tier allows up to 500 PDF operations per month. Since this API is directly from Adobe, it often provides higher reliability than other options.

What This Workflow Does
Adobe's API requires multiple steps to perform transformations on a PDF:
- Authenticate and obtain a temporary token
- Register a new asset (file)
- Upload your PDF to the registered asset
- Send a query based on the requested transformation
- Wait for Adobe's backend to process the query
- Download the result
This workflow serves as a generic wrapper to handle these steps for any transformation endpoint. It can be used from other workflows via the Execute Workflow
node.
Example Use Case
This service is especially useful for cleaning PDF data for AI or RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) systems.
One preferred use case is to extract tables as images and send them to an AI for image recognition or description. This often provides more accurate results than processing raw tabular data with a language model.
