Inputs

- File URL — Public URL of the PowerPoint file to process; required if Input Method is 'URL'.
- Input Binary Property — Name of the binary property containing the PowerPoint file; required if Input Method is 'Binary Data'.
- Output Type (required) — Select how to return the PDF: as 'Binary Data' embedded in the output or as a temporary 'URL' valid for 1 hour.
- Output Binary Property — Name of the binary property to store the output PDF, used only if Output Type is 'Binary Data'.
Output shape
a single record containing the converted PDF file in binary form or a JSON with a temporary download URL
If 'Binary Data' output is selected, the PDF file binary is set under the specified binary property. If 'URL' output is selected, a JSON object includes the downloadUrl, filename, file size, and expiry information (valid for 1 hour). Errors from the API are propagated as failures.
