Office-to-PDF Conversion
âšī¸ Note: This requires you to license Office support.
To convert an Office file to PDF, you need to upload your Office document to PSPDFKit for Web Server-Backed.
The following example illustrates this using a Word file. To create a new document from a Word file, POST its contents to /api/document:
Request
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/documents \ -H "Authorization: Token token=<secret token>" \ -F file=@/path/to/word.docx
POST /api/documents HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=customboundary --customboundary Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="word.docx" Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document <DOCX data> --customboundary--
Response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{
"data": {
"document_id": ...,
"errors": [],
"sourcePdfSha256": ...,
"title": "..."
}
}PSPDFKit for Web Server-Backed will automatically convert the uploaded file to a PDF and store it for you. Afterward, you can download it as a PDF using the document ID that was previously returned:
Request
GET /api/documents/:document_id/pdf
Authorization: Token token="<secret token>"$ curl "http://localhost:5000/api/documents/:document_id/pdf \ -H "Authorization: Token token=<secret token>"
Response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/pdf <PDF data>
Once an Office file is uploaded and converted, you can also treat it as you would any other document, using all the features PSPDFKit for Web Server-Backed provides.
