PDF to TIFF API Sample & Demo

We prepared this sample PDF to be used for this demo.

The code snippets used below can be written in different programming languages. The Web API engine converts our sample PDF file into a TIFF file. The final result will look like this.

Before we proceed with the code, let us first check the /v1/pdf/convert/to/tiff parameters and its uses.

Endpoint

URL: https://api.pdf.co/v1/pdf/convert/to/tiff
Method: POST
Parameters:
- url: Required. Link to the source file.
- pages: Optional. Comma-separated list of page indices (or ranges) to process. IMPORTANT: the very first page starts with 0 (zero). To set a range use the dash –, for example: 0, 2-5, 7-.
- rect: Optional. Defines coordinates for extraction, e.g. 51.8, 114.8, 235.5, 204.0. Must be a string.
- encrypt: Optional. Enable encryption for the output file: true or false.
- async: Optional. Runs processing asynchronously. Returns jobId to use with job/check: true or false.
- name: Optional. Output file name.
- profiles: Optional. Must be a String. Set custom configuration. See profiles examples.

Now we are ready to write some code.
