So, I have a scenario, 

We’ve more than 5000+ pdf and XDP to convert.

we’re running on AEM on prem LTS. 

 

Has anyone here done something similar? As this is going to be a lot of configurations, implementations and then migration. 

I need some guidance on how to achieve it. I am closely following documentation and seems like it should be easier process after the right configuration. 

Configure the Automated Forms Conversion service (AFCS) | Adobe Experience Manager

 

I appreciate the help or any more documentation, if we have it. I have search on AEM forums but, didn’t find anything yet.

Configuration part has been successfully done. 

Issue: While converting PDF to adaptative forms it’s taking longer and it shows only 1% conversion,

I have traced the sling log but, there is no error. I am not sure how long this is going to take. Do anyone in here phase same issue?

Hi ​@pathikparmar19,

Following up on your question about configuring the Automated Forms Conversion Service (AFCS) for bulk PDF/XDP conversion on AEM 6.5:

We recommend the following setup steps:

  1. Prepare AEM Forms 6.5

    • Ensure your AEM author is on 6.5 with the latest Service Pack and the latest AEM Forms add‑on installed.
    • Create an AEM user with a valid email and add it to the forms-users group.
  2. Enable AFCS access

    • Your Adobe org admin creates an AFCS product profile in Admin Console and assigns your developers to it.
    • A developer then uses Adobe Developer Console to create an AFCS API project (OAuth Server‑to‑Server) and obtains the API Key, Client Secret, Org ID, and Scopes.
  3. Connect AEM to AFCS

    • In AEM, create a single Adobe IMS configuration for “Automated Forms Conversion Service” using the OAuth details and verify via Check Health.
    • Then create an Automated Forms Conversion Cloud Service configuration (service URL https://aemformsconversion.adobe.io/), and select your default Adaptive Form template and theme.
  4. Validate with a pilot conversion

    • Upload a sample (non‑secured) PDF, use Start Automated Conversion, select your AFCS configuration, and verify the generated Adaptive Form.

Once this is working, we can help you define batching and QA guidelines so you can safely scale conversion across your full set of 5000+ forms.

Thanks
Pranay
