Document Intelligence reading PDF - Problem with http authentication

Question

I'm reading a public available PDF with curl using the FormRecognizer.

curl -i -X POST "%FR_ENDPOINT%formrecognizer/documentModels/{modelID}:analyze?api-version=2022-08-31" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: %FR_KEY%" --data-ascii "{'urlSource': '{document-url}'}"

That works well.

Now I have a PDF with HTTP basic authentication. I've tried to pass the user and pass in the document-url (f.e. https://user:pass@www.url.com/mypdf.pdf) but that fails with:

[ms-azure-ai-errorcode] => InvalidRequest

Does anyone have an idea how I can pass the credentials so it works?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

@Daniel Azure Document intelligence or Form recognizer cannot read files which are password authenticated. As a requirement PDF file should have the password removed before passing it to the service. Thanks!!
