Workflows

inspect-pdf-properties
Retrieve metadata properties for an uploaded PDF.
Requests an upload slot for the source PDF, submits a getPDFProperties job with page-level properties enabled, polls job status until it reaches a terminal state, and branches to report success or failure of the inspection.
5 steps inputs: accessToken, includePageLevelProperties, jobID outputs: downloadUri, failureMessage, propertiesAssetID, sourceAssetID
1
requestUpload
Request a pre-signed upload URI and asset ID for the source PDF, which is then PUT to the returned uploadUri out of band.
2
submitProperties
Submit an asynchronous getPDFProperties job that inspects the uploaded PDF's metadata. Returns 201 with an in-progress job status.
3
pollStatus
Poll the getPDFProperties job until it reaches a terminal state. Loops back while the status is "in progress", branches to a success report when "done", and to a failure report when "failed".
4
reportSuccess
Resolve a download URI for the properties output asset produced by a successful inspection job.
5
reportFailure
Re-read the job status to capture the error code and message when the inspection job failed, ending the workflow with the failure recorded.

  title: Adobe Inspect PDF Properties
  summary: Upload a PDF, request its metadata properties, and poll the job until done or failed.
  description: >-
    Drives the Adobe PDF Services asynchronous PDF-properties pipeline that
    reports a PDF's metadata such as page count, page size, encryption state,
    and PDF/A compliance. The workflow registers the source PDF by requesting a
    pre-signed upload URI and asset ID, submits a getPDFProperties job
    requesting page-level detail, then polls the job and branches on the
    terminal status: a done result exposes the output properties asset, while a
    failed result surfaces the error. Each step spells out its request inline.
    The polling job identifier is supplied as a workflow input because the
    submit response exposes only an opaque Location header.
