PDF Converter API

This API allows to convert files from one type to another based on Libre Office, e.g. Word file to PDF file.
Supported conversions are:

• html -> doc, html -> pdf, htm -> doc, htm -> pdf
• docx -> pdf, doc -> pdf

Libre Office default version 5.4.0.3.

The source format to convert from is recognized by the extension of the incoming file.
The target format to convert to is given by the request parameter format.

In order to use the API, you should have an API access key. You can create an account on the platform for free and subscribe to the API also for free. The number of requests per day is limited so if you need more requests, you can order a payed subscription. Further details about available payment plans are available in your account on the dashboard page.

The authentication to the API endpoint is done by sending a HTTP request header with your access key, e.g.:
