## About

## 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.
