Getting Started with the PDF Platform API

Working with PDFs programmatically has traditionally been painful. Heavy desktop libraries, inconsistent output, and licensing headaches make it hard to ship a reliable document pipeline. That is exactly the problem PDF Platform solves.

Quick start

Sign up for a free account to receive 10 credits. Then grab your API key from the dashboard and make your first call:

curl -X POST https://your-domain/api/pdf/convert \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "[email protected]" \
  -F "format=docx"

Available operations

• Convert — PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, or plain text
• Merge — combine multiple PDFs into one
• Split — extract specific page ranges
• Compress — reduce file size without visible quality loss
• Encrypt — add password protection to any PDF

Credit-based pricing

Every operation costs a small number of credits. Larger files cost slightly more, but the pricing stays predictable. Check the pricing page for the full breakdown.
