Trying to use Adobe Services to export a pdf to word, but not understanding

I am having an issue with using the export pdf to other services activity. It seems that my connection is configured, but it is not doing anything to the actual file. I have verified the connection in Orchestrator.I am using a file exists to grab the Iresource as a variable, and then plugging it into the file property. Let me know if I am missing anything from this. I haven’t had to use API’s up to this point.

@drowe,

Any specific error you are facing? If no error then check if you assigned Output property to a variable.

Follow this for more details on this.

Thanks,

@ashokkarale I did assign a variable, but it is of type Exportpdf_create. Not sure what to do with it from here. Sadly, the documentation is a little vague.

Have you used the debug panel to see if your output variable has a value? That value should be the file that was created and you should be able to get the path and filename out of it.

@postwick It is giving me an id and a location. Do I need to parse the response? Ty both for your help.

What are the dependencies and versions you’re using?

When I type a variable name (datatype exportPdf) and then . I see a FilePath property. I would assume that gives you the location of the new file.

Experiencing same issue. Documentation is not clear. I am using “Export a PDF to Other formats”.
Connected to Adobe services as I see that Adobe developer console also showing that an export request was done.
I get Job id back after “Export a PDF to Other formats” activity.
I tried passing that “job id” to “Download file” that didn’t help.
I tried adding “Get Record” and passed the job id before “Download File” that didn’t help.
I tried adding 10 minutes delay between the activities that didn’t help
