  title: Adobe Creative Cloud PDF Extract Content
  summary: Upload a PDF, extract its text and tables with AI, then retrieve the structured result.
  description: >-
    AI-powered content extraction with Adobe PDF Services. The workflow creates
    an upload asset for the source PDF, submits the extract-PDF job requesting
    the desired content elements and table output format, and captures the 201
    Location header pointing at the opaque job status URL. That status URL is
    not modeled as an operation in the description, so once the job has
    completed the workflow retrieves a presigned download URI for the
    structured result asset. Every step spells out its request inline,
    including the bearer token and x-api-key, so the flow can be read and run
    without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
