Convert Office Documents to PDF API

What it does

Office to PDF converts common office files into a PDF binary you can store, share, or archive. Send a document, spreadsheet, presentation, or text file and get a PDF back.

Use the file upload with one of the supported formats: doc, docx, odt, rtf, txt, xls, xlsx, ods, csv, ppt, pptx, or odp. The request also accepts pdfa when you need an archival PDF/A output, with PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b, or PDF/A-3b available. Set landscape to true if you need wider page layout.

The response is a binary PDF, so it fits cleanly into document pipelines, download flows, and file-generation jobs. A typical use case is converting uploaded office attachments into a consistent PDF format before long-term storage, review, or downstream extraction.

Use Office to PDF when you want a predictable PDF output from user-uploaded office documents without adding conversion logic to your app.
