Available Methods

[POST] /pdf/convert/to/tiff

  • url required. URL to the source file. Supports links from Google Drive, Dropbox and from built-in PDF.co files storage. For uploading files via API please check Files Upload section. If you are randomly getting Too Many Requests or Access Denied error for your input url, please try to add cache: to enable built-in url caching.
  • httpusername (optional) - http auth user name if required to access source url.
  • httppassword (optional) - http auth password if required to access source url.
  • pages optional. Comma-separated list of page indices (or ranges) to process. IMPORTANT: the very first page starts at 0 (zero). To set a range use the dash -, for example: 0,2-5,7-. To set a range from index to the last page use range like this: 2- (from page #3 as the index starts at zero and till the of the document). For ALL pages just leave this param empty. Example: 0,2-5,7- means first page, then 3rd page to 6th page, and then the range from 8th (index = 7) page till the end of the document. Must be a String.
  • rect optional. Defines coordinates for extraction, e.g. 51.8, 114.8, 235.5, 204.0. You can use PDF.co PDF Viewer with coordinates to easily select and copy coordinates. Must be a String.
  • encrypt (legacy, now all files are stored at the encrypted cloud storage by default.

Important: you can also encrypt output files and decrypt input files with user-controlled data encryption (strong AES encryption + custom keys). Click here to learn more.

  • async optional. Runs processing asynchronously. Returns Use JobId that you may use with /job/check to check state of the processing (possible states: working, failed, aborted and success). Must be one of: true, false.
  • inline optional. false by default. In async mode makes to return body with the content of the output json (with the links to the output).
  • name optional. File name for generated output. Must be a String.
  • expiration (optional). Output link expiration in minutes. Default is 60 (i.e. 60 minutes or 1 hour). After this delay generated output file(s) (if any) will be auto-removed from PDF.co temporary files storage. Max allowed expiration period depends on your current subscription plan. To store permanent input files (e.g. re-usable images, pdf, documents), please use PDF.co built-in Files Storage instead.

  • profiles optional. Must be a String. You can set additional and extra options using this parameter that allows you to set custom configuration. For example, to turn on / off layers for rendering:

    ```
