These Product Specific Terms govern your use of Adobe Acrobat Services and are incorporated by reference into the Adobe General Terms of Use ("General Terms") located at www.adobe.com/go/terms. These Product Specific Terms and the General Terms are collectively referred to as “Terms.” Capitalized terms not defined here have the same meaning as defined in the General Terms. In the event of a conflict between the General Terms and these Product Specific Terms, these Product Specific Terms shall govern.
These Product Specific Terms govern a Business’s access and use of the Document Cloud Services. If you are accessing and using the Document Cloud SDKs or APIs through Free Tier credentials from Adobe’s developer site, the Adobe Developer Terms of Use will govern your access and use, and not these Product Specific Terms.
1. Definitions.
1.1 “API” means the application programming interface, which is a set of routines, protocols, and tools that specify how software components interact. APIs may be specified in header files, JAR files, the SDK plug-in APIs as defined in the header files and demonstrated in plug-in example code and related information in object code format, and/or as libraries that Adobe has included as part of the SDK to integrate unmodified with Your Software that interoperate with the Document Cloud Services.
1.2 “Document” means the resulting digital output from an Operation.
1.3 “Document Cloud Services” means certain document solutions made generally available by Adobe that permits use and access to a wide range of PDF functionalities and other document capabilities via SDKs and Service API, including without limitation PDF Services API.
1.4 “Document Transaction” means an initial endpoint request (i.e., API call) for executing an Operation that produces a Document. For purposes of a Document Transaction, a “page” means the segmented or separated sheets of a Document, in any particular file type (e.g., DOCX, PPTX, PDF, etc.), as if rendered as physical print output.
1.5 “Operation” means any of the Document Cloud Services functionalities and capabilities available on the Document Transaction table (located at www.adobe.com/go/dcsdk_doc_services_meter or its successor site), and subject to the metrics and usage limits therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, Your Software may be comprised of your hosted service that interoperates with the Document Cloud Services.
