pdfRest API Toolkit
Getting Started
Welcome to the pdfRest API Toolkit reference for the Cloud API. This guide provides the information you need to start using pdfRest tools with your API key. If you do not have a key, you can create one for free.
The reference is organized by Tool and its associated endpoint. Most
processing endpoints are named for the type of output they generate.
For example, send a JPG file to the /pdf endpoint to convert it to a
PDF. A successful processing request typically returns a unique
resource ID (UUID), which you can use with the /resource/{id}
endpoint to retrieve the processed file.
