Output shape

a single record containing the generated PDF file either as binary data or as a JSON with a temporary download URL

The output depends on the 'Output Type' parameter: if 'binary', the PDF content is returned as binary data under the specified binary property name; if 'url', a JSON object is returned with a temporary download URL and file metadata.

Examples

Example 1: Convert a webpage at a URL to PDF with default settings and get a download URL.

Set Source Type to 'URL', provide the webpage URL, keep other PDF options default, and set Output Type to 'URL'. The output will provide a download link to the generated PDF.

Example 2: Convert raw HTML content to a binary PDF with custom margins and landscape orientation.

Set Source Type to 'HTML Content', provide the HTML string, set margins, enable landscape mode, and choose Output Type as 'Binary Data'. The output binary data will contain the PDF file under the specified binary property name.
