Array of objects (Attachment)

Adds a file attachment to PDF document.

authenticationCredentials

author
string

Sets the value of the author field of the PDF document.

baseUrl

Adds callbacks to the conversion which will be called at specific times. All callbacks perform a POST request to the specified URL with the specified content type and a certain model which depends on the callback event.

For each callback, you can specify a timeout. If no timeout is specified, the server's default timeout for callbacks is used. A value of zero or negative values indicate an infinite timeout, however the PDFreactor server may have a maximum timeout configured, in which case that will be the used value.

Some callbacks might be called regularly during the course of a conversion. For these callbacks you can specify an interval to control how frequently they are called.

By default, asynchronous conversions have a priority of 0, synchronous conversions have a priority of 10.

resourceConnectTimeout
integer
Deprecated

Deprecated as of PDFreactor 12. Use connectTimeout instead.

Responses

200

Conversion successful

400

Multiple Reasons: (1) No configuration was supplied to the operation. (2) No input document was specified in the configuration. (3) The page number you specified is either below 0 or exceeds the document's total number of pages. (4) The supplied configuration was not valid for some reason. See the error message for details. (5) The version of the client that was used is outdated and no longer supported. This is only available for the PDFreactor REST clients.

401

The client failed an authorization check, e.g. because a supplied API key was invalid.

422

The supplied configuration was accepted by PDFreactor but could not be converted for some reason. See the error message for details.

500

Multiple Reasons: (1) The configuration could not be processed and should be re-checked. (2) The supplied configuration is valid, however the conversion could not be completed for some reason. See the error message for details.

503

Multiple Reasons: (1) Asynchronous conversions are not available in this PDFreactor Web Service. (2) The PDFreactor Web Service is running and reachable, but not in a state to perform the requested operation.

Convert asynchronously

post /convert/async
http://localhost:9423/service/rest/convert/async
https://cloud.pdfreactor.com/service/rest/convert/async

Converts the specified configuration or asset package into PDF or image. This operation responds immediately and does not wait for the conversion to finish. This is especially useful for very large or complex documents where the conversion will take some time.

This function is limited to fonts loaded automatically from system folders.

fontFallback

Sets a list of fallback font families to be tried when none of the fonts listed using the CSS property font-family can be found. It is also used in cases of per character font fallback, when none of the specified fonts contain the required character.

fonts
Array of objects (Font)

Loads a font from a URL which can be used via the CSS property font-family.

forceGrayscaleImage
boolean

If the output format is an image format, this setting controls whether a grayscale image should be returned. This can not be combined with transparency.

fullCompression
boolean
Deprecated

Deprecated as of PDFreactor 12. Use disablePdfStructureOptimization instead.

httpsMode
string (HttpsMode)
Enum: "LENIENT" "STRICT"
ignoreAlpha
boolean

There are two ways to specify the style sheet:

  1. Specifying the style sheet only using an URI.
  2. Specifying the style sheet by the content of the style sheet and alternatively setting a URI to resolve relative elements. If no URI is specified then the system id/base URL of the document will be used.
javaScriptSettings
object (JavaScriptSettings)
keepDocument
boolean

If set to true prevents the document from being deleted from the PDFreactor Web Service after it has been accessed. This only works for asynchronous conversions.

keywords
string

Sets the value of the keywords field of the PDF document.

licenseKey
string

Sets the license key either as content or URL. If the license key is set to null then PDFreactor looks for a license key file file in the same directory where the 'pdfreactor.jar' file is located. If no license key could be found then PDFreactor runs in evaluation mode.

The default value is null.

logLevel
string (LogLevel)
Enum: "DEBUG" "ERROR" "FATAL" "INFO" "NONE" "PERFORMANCE" "TRACE" "WARN"
logMaxLines
integer

Sets the maximum amount of log entries that will be retained by the PDFreactor logs.

The default value is 100000.

A capacity of 0 is equivalent to the default value. A negative value means that the capacity will be unlimited.

mediaFeatureValues
Array of objects (MediaFeatureValue)

Defines the value of a Media Feature which is used to resolve CSS3 media queries.

mediaTypes
Array of strings

Sets the media types that are used to resolve CSS3 media queries.

Please note that this overrides the default media types of PDFreactor, which are:

"print", "paged", "visual", "bitmap", "static", "-ro-pdfreactor"

mergeDocuments
Array of objects (Resource)
Deprecated

Deprecated as of PDFreactor 12. Use documents instead.

ownerPassword
string
Deprecated

Deprecated as of PDFreactor 12. Use ownerPassword instead.

pageOrder
PageOrder (string) or string

Sets the page order of the direct result of the conversion.

If mergeMode is set to "ARRANGE", this method is also used to specify the position of inserted pages from an existing PDF.

A description of the syntax can be found in the manual.

pagesPerSheetProperties
object (PagesPerSheetProperties)
pdfScriptAction
Array of objects (PdfScriptAction)

Sets a pair of trigger event and PDF script. The script is triggered on the specified event.

A PDF script is JavaScript that is executed by a PDF viewer (e.g. Adobe Reader). Note that most viewers do not support this feature.

PDF Scripts can also be set by using the proprietary CSS property pdf-script-action. More information on this property can be found in the manual.

Please note, that scripts set via CSS have a higher priority. If two scripts are registered on the same event, but one via API and the other via the CSS property, the script set in the CSS will override the other one.

pixelsPerInch
integer

Sets the pixels per inch.

Changing this value changes the physical length of sizes specified in px (including those specified via HTML attributes).

The default value is 96 ppi.

pixelsPerInchShrinkToFit
boolean

Whether the pixels per inch should be adapted automatically to avoid content exceeding pages.

postTransformationDocumentType
string (Doctype)
Enum: "AUTODETECT" "HTML5" "XHTML" "XML"

Deprecated

Deprecated as of PDFreactor 12. Use cookies instead.

requestHeaders
Array of objects (KeyValuePair)
Deprecated

Deprecated as of PDFreactor 12. Use requestHeaders instead.

requestPriority
integer

Specifies the priority of the conversion request. A higher priority means that the web service will adjust the conversion's position in the queue appropriately, so that it is converted before others with lower priority.

By default, asynchronous conversions have a priority of 0, synchronous conversions have a priority of 10.

resourceConnectTimeout
integer
Deprecated

Deprecated as of PDFreactor 12. Use connectTimeout instead.

resourceReadTimeout
integer
Deprecated

Deprecated as of PDFreactor 12. Use readTimeout instead.

There are two ways to specify the script:

  1. Specifying the script only by an URI.
  2. Specifying the script by the content of the script and alternatively setting a URI to resolve relative elements. If no URI is specified then the system id/base URL of the document will be used.

Currently only PDF/A and PDF/UA validation is supported.

Please note that validation might take several minutes for larger documents.

viewerPreferences
Array of strings (ViewerPreferences)
Items Enum: "CENTER_WINDOW" "DIRECTION_L2R" "DIRECTION_R2L" "DISPLAY_DOC_TITLE" "DUPLEX_FLIP_LONG_EDGE" "DUPLEX_FLIP_SHORT_EDGE" "DUPLEX_SIMPLEX" "FIT_WINDOW" "HIDE_MENUBAR" "HIDE_TOOLBAR" "HIDE_WINDOW_UI" "NON_FULLSCREEN_PAGE_MODE_USE_NONE" "NON_FULLSCREEN_PAGE_MODE_USE_OC" "NON_FULLSCREEN_PAGE_MODE_USE_OUTLINES" "NON_FULLSCREEN_PAGE_MODE_USE_THUMBS" "PAGE_LAYOUT_ONE_COLUMN" "PAGE_LAYOUT_SINGLE_PAGE" "PAGE_LAYOUT_TWO_COLUMN_LEFT" "PAGE_LAYOUT_TWO_COLUMN_RIGHT" "PAGE_LAYOUT_TWO_PAGE_LEFT" "PAGE_LAYOUT_TWO_PAGE_RIGHT" "PAGE_MODE_FULLSCREEN" "PAGE_MODE_USE_ATTACHMENTS" "PAGE_MODE_USE_NONE" "PAGE_MODE_USE_OC" "PAGE_MODE_USE_OUTLINES" "PAGE_MODE_USE_THUMBS" "PICKTRAYBYPDFSIZE_FALSE" "PICKTRAYBYPDFSIZE_TRUE" "PRINTSCALING_APPDEFAULT" "PRINTSCALING_NONE"
