Integrate the Adobe Acrobat API.Caddi writes and runs the integration for you.

Adobe Acrobat has a REST API. Self-serve for any developer, with 500 free Document Transactions per month; higher volume needs a paid enterprise plan.

01Getting access

The connection is a project before it does anything.

Before the first record moves: an app registration, credentials, token refresh, and somewhere to host and monitor the code. 25 requests/min on the free tier and 100 requests/min on enterprise, with 100MB file and page caps per operation.

On your own

Register an app, store Adobe Acrobat credentials, refresh tokens and code around the rate limits.

With Caddi

Connect your Adobe Acrobat account once. Caddi holds the connection.

02The whole job

The job doesn't stop at Adobe Acrobat.

An intake, a filing or a client update also runs through email, documents and the other systems your team works in. The Adobe Acrobat API only reaches Adobe Acrobat.

On your own

Each extra system is another API, another set of credentials, another integration to own.

With Caddi

One automation runs across every tool the job touches, each through its API.

03After launch

Someone has to own the code.

API versions change, fields get added and your process moves.

On your own

A developer patches and redeploys the integration each time.

With Caddi

The person who does the work updates it by showing or describing the change. Every automation is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.

When to build the Adobe Acrobat integration in-house

When you have engineers and the integration is your product, or you need one narrow sync between two systems and someone to own it. When the goal is getting Adobe Acrobat work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part, and Caddi does it for you.

What teams usually want the Adobe Acrobat API for

  • Account Record Creation

    Caddi extracts required details from account-opening PDFs and creates the linked household, person, and new account form records, reducing manual data entry for client services teams.

  • HIPAA Authorization Packets

    Caddi pulls case details to complete and review HIPAA authorization PDFs and uploads the finalized file to the case record, reducing manual form completion for compliance teams.

  • Provider Bill Request Packets

    Caddi generates provider bill request letters, assembles the required PDF packet, sends it to providers, and logs the activity to the case.

  • Inbound PDF classifier

    Caddi watches a shared inbox for incoming PDFs, classifies each by type, extracts the relevant fields, and routes them to the right system.

Everything Caddi does with Adobe Acrobat.

Adobe Acrobat API questions

How do I get access to the Adobe Acrobat API?

Self-serve for any developer, with 500 free Document Transactions per month; higher volume needs a paid enterprise plan.

Does the Adobe Acrobat API have rate limits?

25 requests/min on the free tier and 100 requests/min on enterprise, with 100MB file and page caps per operation.

Can I connect Adobe Acrobat to my other tools without writing code against its API?

Yes. With Caddi you show the Adobe Acrobat task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across Adobe Acrobat and the other tools the job touches. Steps that need a person's judgment are handed to Copilot or Claude, and Caddi monitors those too.

Do I need a developer to automate Adobe Acrobat with Caddi?

No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for Adobe Acrobat is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
