Goal<\/strong> : How to extract Structured information (JSON) from Complex PDF document with Magic xpi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/ Sign in on your adobe developer console (Adobe Developer Website<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a new project<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2\/ Create an API Key<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Copy your client id, client secret and Check the scope (openid, AdobeID, DCAPI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3\/ From now, you can use Postman to check the Adobe service API<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assume that you want to retrieve the Dimensions of your product from the PDF document below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sequence to retrieve the information is :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After getting the token, do a POST for an asset (https:\/\/pdf-services.adobe.io\/assets<\/strong>) to retrieve an uploadUri<\/strong> and an assetid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do a PUT<\/strong> on the uploadUri<\/strong> with your PDF file<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do a POST<\/strong> on https:\/\/pdf-services-ue1.adobe.io\/operation\/extractpdf<\/strong> and pass the assetid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Retrieve in the response header the key : location<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do a GET the URL location to retrieve the download URI to get the json content<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do a GET on the downloadUri<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4\/ Define Resources in the Magic xpi resources repository<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0ne REST Client resource with 3 paths (token, assets, extractpdf) and one HTTP resource to do the PUT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5\/ Structure of the flow is like below :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

use the Set body token to step to update the http body <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drag and drop Rest client connector and call the token url by passing the body to DataBlob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

next, use Flow data connector to update 2 flow variables (F.accesstoken, F.BodyAsset)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6\/ Drag and drop Rest client to call assets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click on Parameters to pass the API-Key and the Bearer token<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the mapping, pass the F.BodyAsset in the datablob<\/p>\n\n\n\n

use the \u00ab\u00a0Asset Response Parsing\u00a0\u00bb step to get the \u00ab\u00a0uploadUri\u00a0\u00bb and the assetID<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7\/ To do the PUT, i’ll use powershell script with Magic xpi template<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Define a template with 2 tags like below :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ‘<!$MG_Url><\/strong>‘ -Method ‘Put’ -ContentType ‘application\/pdf’ -InFile ‘<!$MG_PDFFile><\/strong>‘ > ‘c:\/tmp\/trace.txt’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

use Datamapper to merge values on the 2 tags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

after this step, you must obtain a powershell script (uploadPDFAdobe.ps1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then execute the powershell script with a file management and run command line<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

8\/ After executing this step, your PDF file is uploaded to Adobe Service cloud platform<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9\/ Extractpdf method<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drag and drop Flow data component and update a flow variable to update the body (F.BodyExtract)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Populate the AssetID (step 6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

use REST Client connector to call the the extractpdf method<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

9\/ Set a delay of 5 secs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10\/ Retrieve the status of the result<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This url is retrieved from the response header<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drag and drop HTTP connector to call the status method<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, use the datamapper to parse the json response<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

11\/ use the HTTP connector to download the JSON result<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update the environment variable with the DonwloadURI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

use the datamapper to extract information from the PDF file using JSON schema<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

use a Condition on the destination node to retrieve the \u00ab\u00a0Product Width\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
