About

The word to pdf conversion service lets you upload and convert a word document (doc, docx or odf formats) to a pdf document. Using this service, you can quickly and accurately transform any Word document to PDF online with minimal loss to the formatting.
There might be several scenarios when you collect word documents from your users as reports, assignments, and so on. However, you must convert them into pdf files to ensure that the documents are safe from unintentional modifications. PDFs also ensure that anyone can view the documents without the need for additional software.

Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
