[POST] /pdf/merge2 (supports zip, doc, rtf, xls, png, jpg etc)

This endpoint is similar to /pdf/merge but it also supports zip, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, rtf, txt, png, jpg files as source.

We recommended to use this endpoint in "async": true mode because it may need to convert source documents to pdf.

This endpoint also consumes more credits because of the internal conversions.

Attributes

expiration optional Set the expiration time for the output link in minutes (`default is 60` i.e 60 minutes or 1 hour), After this specified duration, any generated output file(s) will be automatically deleted from PDF.co temporary files storage.
