How to resize text in a PDF Form’s fillable field

The pdf/edit/add endpoint supports changing the text size in a fillable field. To do this, you’ll need to include both the fontName and size parameters. Our API supports a variety of fonts, which you can view in our font list at https://apidocs.pdf.co/kb/General/pdfco-font-list.

Below is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to set the font size to 8:

POST /v1/pdf/edit/add HTTP/1.1
Host: api.pdf.co
Content-Type: application/json
x-api-key: your_api_key
Content-Length: 302

{
    "url": "https://file_url",
    "fields": [
        {
            "fieldName": "field_name",
            "pages": "0", 
            "text": "This is a sample text",
            "size": 8,
            "fontName": "Arial"
        }
    ]
}
