Attributes
url required URL to the source file. Supports links from Google Drive, Dropbox, and PDF.co built-in files storage. To upload files via API, Check out the Files Upload section. Note: If you experience intermittent `Too Many Requests` or `Access Denied` errors, please try to add `cache:` to enable built-in URL caching. (e.g `cache:https://example.com/file1.pdf`) For data security, you have the option to encrypt output files and decrypt input files. Learn more about user-controlled data encryption.
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 Set `async` to `true` for long processes to run in the background, API will then return a `jobId` which you can use with `/job/check` endpoint to check the status of the process and retrieve the output while you can proceed with other tasks without waiting for this process to finish.
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.
