Office and PDF conversion

Recommended pipeline

Check media-type support and capability status, use a project credential for container operations, and validate the returned artifact rather than assuming perfect layout fidelity.

1. Read the live capability detail and project limits.
2. Upload and complete an immutable input.
3. Submit the operation with a stable idempotency key and hard cost ceiling.
4. Read terminal job state, artifact records, hashes, and receipt.

Relevant operations

• office_to_pdf
• pdf_to_docx
• pdf_to_spreadsheet
• pdf_to_slides
• convert_pdfa

Start with the SDK

const pdf = new PDFCentralClient({ apiKey: process.env.PDF_CENTRAL_API_KEY });
const input = await pdf.upload(bytes, { filename: "input.pdf" });
const job = await pdf.run("office_to_pdf", {
  fileIds: [input.file_id],
  maxCostMicrousd: 200000
});

Availability and parameters may differ by operation. Use the linked capability detail as the source of truth.
