Manipulate PDFs with Adobe API: Split, OCR, Extract & More

This workflow provides a comprehensive wrapper for the Adobe PDF Services and Extract APIs, simplifying complex PDF manipulations like splitting/combining files, OCR, inserting/deleting/reordering pages, and extracting text/tables/images. It automates the tedious multi-step process: authenticating to get a token, registering an asset, uploading the PDF, submitting a transformation job, polling for completion, and downloading results. Designed for reuse via Execute Workflow node, it supports the free tier (500 ops/month) and often outperforms alternatives due to Adobe's robust backend.

Key benefits include time savings on API boilerplate, reliability for production use, and seamless integration into larger automations. It's particularly valuable for preparing PDFs for AI/RAG systems by cleaning data or extracting tables as images for better LLM accuracy via vision models.

Example use cases: Extract structured data from scanned invoices for accounting automation; convert multi-page reports into single images for AI analysis; reorder/optimize PDFs before website uploads. Documentation links provided for easy customization of endpoints.
