There are PDF engines behind the PDF actions to make them work. We provide two engine options that can be chosen from the Configuration.
Supported PDF Engines:
PDFTron (rebrand as Apryse): Embedded PDF engine. No license required. No setup required.
Adobe PDF Service: Adobe credential required. Please obtain it yourself from the Adobe Developer Page.
📢 Note: PDFTron Engine does not support extract tables and only supports extract text for now. If you need to extract a table, please use Adobe PDF Engine instead.Adobe PDF Engine
If you want to use Adobe PDF Engine, you should input the credential in the Global Configuration before being able to use any PDF action.
📢 If you don't have the credential, you can follow the steps in the user manual to obtain it from Adobe Developer: Get Credentials.
You can input the folder path of your credential files in the Credential Folder Path. You can input it directly or click the folder button to open the Select Folder dialog.
After inputting the credential folder path, you can continue to set up the Max Attempts and Retry Delay. Max attempts are the maximum number for the retry process when the PDF action encounters a failure. By default, the Max Attempts value is 10. Under the Max Attempts, there is a Retry Delay. It is the time gap between one retry to another. Robotiive set it 1 second by default.
