About

Presentation to PDF conversion service lets you upload and convert a presentation ( ppt, pptx, or odf formats) to a pdf document. With this API, you can quickly and accurately transform any presentation to PDF online with minimal loss to the formatting.
There might be several scenarios when you collect presentations from your users and share them with other users, and in such cases, you might want to convert them to pdfs to avoid unintentional modification. 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.
