Available Methods

[POST] /pdf/convert/from/doc

[POST] /pdf/convert/from/doc

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.

You can also encrypt data for output files and decrypt data input files with user-controlled data encryption (uses strong AES encryption with your own keys). Click here to learn more.
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.

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.
