Improvements

New in Web Forms: Image and PDF Upload Capabilities

We're thrilled to announce the addition of image and PDF upload capabilities directly within our Web Forms. This highly requested feature significantly expands the types of data you can collect and seamlessly integrate into your automated workflows.

Now, when you design a Web Form, you can include fields that allow users to upload images and even entire PDF documents. Imagine customers easily attaching a photo for a service request, an ID for a KYC form, or a supporting document for an application.

What This Means for Your Documents and Data:
Dynamic Document Generation: For images, once uploaded through the form, they can be directly displayed within your generated PDF documents. This is perfect for including profile pictures, product images, signatures, or any visual element directly into your automated reports, certificates, or contracts.
Seamless Data Handling: Both uploaded images and PDF documents are conveniently sent as Base64 encoded data within the callback payload. This technical detail is a huge win for automation, as it means the file data is immediately available in a format that's easy to store in your databases, transfer to other systems, or process further using your preferred tools like Make.com or n8n.io.

This enhancement empowers you to capture a richer variety of information, leading to more comprehensive documents and even more streamlined, end-to-end automated processes.

Say Hello to Smaller PDFs: Introducing Our New Document Optimization Service!

With this release we have a powerful new addition to our PDF Services API: the Document Optimization endpoint! This highly anticipated feature allows you to significantly reduce the file size of your PDF documents without compromising quality, leading to faster loading times, reduced storage costs, and improved user experiences.

Optimizing your PDFs with our new endpoint is incredibly straightforward. You can send your PDF file in two convenient ways:
As a Base64 Encoded Document: Ideal for direct integration within your application's logic.
Via a URL to the File: Perfect for optimizing documents already hosted online.

Our API handles the heavy lifting, intelligently analyzing and optimizing your PDF while preserving its visual integrity. The response provides not only the optimized document but also valuable metadata including the original_size and optimized_size, so you can immediately see the impact of the optimization.

Integrating the Document Optimization endpoint into your existing applications is a breeze. Here's a quick example using curl

curl --request POST \
  --url https://us1.pdfgeneratorapi.com/api/v4/pdfservices/optimize \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer REPLACE_BEARER_TOKEN' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"file_url":"YOUR_PDF_FILE_URL_OR_BASE64","output":"base64"}'
