@bsehp it looks like the @adobe/pdfservices-node-sdk requires file system operations which are not mocked consistently by the polyfills and therefore it lacks some functions which are needed in the loading flow of the module. I need to check whether we can do something here or not...

Hey, I've got the same problem as well. I would appreciate it, if you find something.

@bsehp @swgtp - I just checked the documentation of the Adobe PDF Services API and it states the following:
https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/overview/pdf-services-api/

The SDK only supports server-based use cases where credentials are saved securely in a safe environment. SDK credentials should not be sent to untrusted environments or end user devices.

While looking into the issue during the generation, it lacks the existence of fs apis in the polyfills for the node modules. Although this could be manually tweaked, I wonder if this is really a proper scenario to have this library at client-side. IMO, you should use it on the server-side and send the requests to your server which communicates with the Adobe PDF Service.

WDYT?

Closing due to my last answer - it's rather a server-side module.
