Summary

Convert a PDF file to a specified PDF/A or PDF/X format with optional strict compliance enforcement.

Inputs

  • Input Binary Field Name (File Input) — Name of the binary property containing the PDF file data to convert.
  • File Id — Identifier of a previously uploaded server-side PDF file for conversion, used instead of binary input.
  • Output Format (required) — Target PDF format to convert to, choosing from PDF/A variants (pdfa, pdfa-1, pdfa-2, pdfa-2b, pdfa-3, pdfa-3b) or PDF/X (pdfx).
  • Strict — If true, causes the conversion to fail unless the output is perfectly compliant with the selected format.

Output shape

a single binary file containing the converted PDF in the selected PDF/A or PDF/X format

The operation accepts input either as a binary property or via a file ID for server-side files. If 'Strict' is enabled, conversion failures may occur if compliance is not met. Supports optional batching and request-level options such as proxy and timeout configurations.
