Attributes
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 a `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 to learn more.
angle optional angle in degrees. Supported values `90`, `180`, and `270`.
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 the 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. Data must need to be in a “string” format.
async optional Runs processing asynchronously and returns `JobId` that you may use with `/job/check` to check the state of the processing (possible states: `working`, `failed`, `aborted` and `success`). Must be one of: `true`, or `false`.
profiles optional Use this parameter to set additional configurations for fine-tuning and extra options. Data must need to be in a “string” format. Explore PDF.co knowledgebase for profile examples.
