ColdFusion Component for Adobe Acrobat Services

/ / No Comments
Last month, I wrote up a post demonstrating how to use Adobe Acrobat Services with ColdFusion. This week I took some of the code I had written for that post and turned it into a proper GitHub project. You can find the latest code here: https://github.com/cfjedimaster/coldfusion-cfc-acrobat-services To use this, you’ll need credentials, which you can get and use for free for up to 500 transactions. (The docs go into detail about how that works.) Currently I only have a subset of our APIs supported, but I plan to hit most of the rest in the next day or so. To give you an example of how it works, here’s a sample that uses our Extract API. First, you instantiate the component with your... more →

Supporting PDF Embeds in an Eleventy WebC Component

/ / No Comments
Way back in the old days, in August of 2021, I wrote up an example of adding support for Adobe’s PDF Embed API as an Eleventy plugin: "An Adobe PDF Embed Plugin for Eleventy". When I find time, I need to update that to the newest URL for the library, but more recently I was curious if I could recreate support using the WebC template language. While it was a bit difficult at times (and a big thank you goes to Zach for patiently helping me), I think it’s at a point now where it can be shared. I will warn folks that I’m still struggling a bit with the best way to work with WebC, and at least one feature I’m showing isn’t documented yet (but I’ve confirmed... more →

Another Update to my Slideshow Web Component – JavaScript Support

/ / No Comments
Last month I shared a simple web component I built to embed slideshows onto web pages. If you didn’t get a chance to read that, you can see it in action in this CodePen below: See the Pen Slideshow Web Component by Raymond Camden (@cfjedimaster) on CodePen. After I wrote this, Šime Vidas shared an excellent update to my component with some great modifications. I talked about this version in a blog post, and it’s the version I’ll be using for my post today. What am I covering today? When I demonstrated how to use my web component, it was done via a script include (well, it’s on CodePen, but you get the idea), and then a bit of HTML. Here’s an example. (And... more →

A Simple Slideshow Web Component

/ / No Comments
As I continue to play around with and learn more about web components, I thought I’d build a simple component to make it easier to add a slideshow. By that, I mean something that renders one picture but provides controls to go to more images. I’ve probably built this many times in the past, both in JavaScript and server-side code, and I thought it would be a nice candidate for a component. As with most of my demos so far, there’s a lot more that could be done with it, but I thought I’d share what I have so far. Once again I want to give a shout-out to Simon MacDonald for helping me get this code working. (At the end of the post, I’ll share the mistake I made, as... more →

A PDF Embed Web Component

/ / No Comments
I’m still pretty new to web components (see my post back in May, My First Web Component), but I’ve been playing with them, and other libraries that wrap them, off and on. Recently I decided to revisit something I had tried at the time I first played with the technology, a wrapper for Adobe’s PDF Embed library. Raymond Camden… more →
