title: API Evangelist enhancements for Adobe PDF Services API
version: 1.0.0
x-generated: '2026-08-13'
x-method: generated
x-source: openapi/_original/adobe-pdf-services-api-openapi-official.json
x-note: >-
Non-destructive enhancements to the OFFICIAL Adobe-published spec (harvested verbatim from
AdobeDocs/pdfservices-api-documentation). Adobe's document declares no securitySchemes, no
contact, no termsOfService and no top-level security requirement even though every operation
carries Authorization + x-api-key header parameters. This overlay records the auth model as
first-class OpenAPI security so a generated client and an agent can both see it, and annotates the
runtime facts that live in the docs but not the contract. The original file is never mutated.

scheme: bearer
bearerFormat: JWT
description: >-
Adobe IMS OAuth 2.0 Server-to-Server (client credentials) access token, minted via
POST /token (operationId authentication.generatetoken) from a client_id/client_secret pair
issued in the Adobe Developer Console.
apiKeyAuth:
type: apiKey
in: header
name: x-api-key
description: >-
The client_id from the Adobe Developer Console. Required IN ADDITION to the bearer token —
omitting it returns 401 even with a valid token.

Region is selected by hostname. Assets are region-scoped and are not addressable across
regions. Region configuration requires a paid plan; the Free Tier processes in the US.

x-rate-limits:
free_tier_rpm: 25
enterprise_rpm: 100
monthly_free_quota: 500 Document Transactions
status_on_exhaustion: 429
response_headers: none
note: >-
Two distinct error codes share HTTP 429 — TOO_MANY_REQUESTS (transient, back off) and
INSUFFICIENT_QUOTA (monthly allowance consumed, do NOT retry). No RateLimit-*, X-RateLimit-*
or Retry-After headers are published.
x-idempotency:
supported: false
note: >-
No idempotency key. Billing is per Document Transaction on the initial endpoint request, so
a blind retry of a submit is a second billable job. Use the echoed x-request-id to correlate
before resubmitting.
