About

The PPT to PDF conversion API lets you upload and convert a presentation file in PPT, PPTX, or ODF formats to a PDF document.
When it comes to sharing and exchanging presentation files you might want to convert the presentation files to PDFs to avoid unintentional modification. PDFs can also ensure that anyone can view the documents without the need for additional software. With this API you can make sure that this conversion is as smooth as it gets.
Try out the Powerpoint to PDF API in the API playground, improve your workflow and reduce conversion errors for free with a simple API call.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
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.
