            { 
                "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg"
            }
        ],
        "dest": {
            "format": "pdf",
            "pdfOptions": {
                "forceOneFilePerPage": true
            }
        }
    }
}

200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{
    "processId": "bQpcuixhvGmNqn5ElskO6Q",
    "expirationDateTime": "2014-12-03T18:30:49.460Z",
    "input": {
        "sources": [
            { 
                "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg",
                "pages": ""
            }
        ],
        "dest": {
            "format": "pdf",
            "pdfOptions": {
                "forceOneFilePerPage": true
            }
        }
    },
    "state": "processing",
    "percentComplete": 0
}

Step 3: Check Status of the ContentConverter Resource

Example:

GET http://192.168.0.1:18681/v2/contentConverters/bQpcuixhvGmNqn5ElskO6Q

200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{
    "processId": " bQpcuixhvGmNqn5ElskO6Q ",
    "expirationDateTime": "2014-12-03T18:30:49.460Z",
    "input": {
        "sources": [
            { 
                "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg",
                "pages": ""
            }
        ],            
        "dest": {
            "format": "pdf",
            "pdfOptions": {
                "forceOneFilePerPage": true
            }
        }
    },
    "state": "complete",
    "percentComplete": 100,
    "output": {
        "results": [
            {
                "fileId": "ek5Zb123oYHSUEVx1bUrVQ",
                "sources": [
                    {
                        "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg",
                        "pages": "1"
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                "fileId": "KOrSwaqsguevJ97BdmUbXi",
                "sources": [
                    {
                        "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg",
                        "pages": "2"
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                "fileId": "o349chskqw93kwaqsgfevJ",
                "sources": [
                    {
                        "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg",
                        "pages": "3"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

Step 4: Download the Converted Document(s)

Example:

GET http://192.168.0.1:18681/PCCIS/V1/WorkFile/ek5Zb123oYHSUEVx1bUrVQ

Conversion Input Examples

Below are example JSON strings that can be used as input in Step 2 above to create various ContentCoverter processes.

Multipage Word Document to Multipage PDF

This example will convert all pages of a Word document to a single PDF document:

"input": {
        "sources": [
            { 
                "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg"
            }
        ],
        "dest": {
            "format": "pdf",
            "pdfOptions": {
                "forceOneFilePerPage": false
            }
        }
}

Single-page Word Document to Scaled PNG

This will convert a single page Word Document to a PNG image, scaled to 800 pixels width. Height will adjust automatically to maintain aspect ratio:

"input": {
        "sources": [
            { 
                "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg"
            }
        ],
        "dest": {
            "format": "png",
            "pngOptions": {
                "maxWidth": "800px"
            }
        }
}

Multipage Word Document to Multiple PNG Images

This will convert a multipage Word Document to multiple, single page PNG images. As PNG is not a multipage format, each page of the Word Document will be converted to a separate PNG:

"input": {
        "sources": [
            { 
                "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg"
            }
        ],
        "dest": {
            "format": "png"
        }
}

JPEG to PNG

This example will convert a JPEG image to a PNG image, scaled to fit within 800 pixels width and 600 pixels height. The output PNG will be as large as it can be while maintaining aspect ratio and remaining within these bounds:

"input": {
        "sources": [
            { 
                "fileId": "5qTYa3gzN9gYUb5SzqUhqg"
            }
        ],
        "dest": {
            "format": "png",
            "pngOptions": {
                "maxWidth": "800px",
                "maxHeight": "600px"
            }
        }
}

Specific Pages of Two Multipage Documents to Multipage TIFF

This example will merge first page of a Word document with the second and third pages of a PDF document and convert them to a single TIFF document:

"input": {
    "sources": [
        {
            "fileId": "drxx_2sNVu9VIZTS4VH2Dg",
            "pages": "1"
        },
        {
            "fileId": "qkMQmjk6CxSzt5UEY-UdFQ",
            "pages": "2-3"
        }
    ],
    "dest": {
        "format": "tiff"
    }
}

All Pages of Three Multipage Documents to Multipage PDF

This example will merge together all pages of the first PDF document with all pages of the second Word document and all pages of the third TIFF document and convert them to a single PDF document.

"input": {
    "sources": [
        {
            "fileId": "TP4TX_SxCNF86suTfHHFSw"
        },
        {
            "fileId": "oJo8CWXAgFJ0dns8UF_AzQ"
        },
        {
            "fileId": "EYsfBhL0JbYgNk80sbnxEg"
        }
    ],
    "dest": {
        "format": "pdf"
    }
}

Multi-dimensional array of lines indicates positioning and text justification of a header or footer content.

To put an address in the top left of every page, you can use a header with lines like this:

"input": {
    "sources": [
        {
            "fileId": "EYsfBhL0JbYgNk80sbnxEg"
        }
    ],
    "dest": {
        "format": "pdf",
        "header": {
            "lines": [
                 [ "Accusoft", "", "" ],
                 [ "4001 N Riverside Dr", "", "" ],
                 [ "Tampa, FL 33603", "", "" ],
            ],
            "fontFamily": "Courier",
            "fontSize": "12pt",
            "color": "#F57B20"
        }
    }
}

By placing the text in the center position of the inner array, it will be positioned in the center of the page. For example, to print CONFIDENTIAL centered at the bottom of every page, you can define a footer with lines like this:

"input": {
    "sources": [
        {
            "fileId": "EYsfBhL0JbYgNk80sbnxEg"
        }
    ],
    "dest": {
        "format": "pdf",
        "footer": {
            "lines": [
                [ "", "CONFIDENTIAL", "" ]
            ],
            "fontFamily": "Courier",
            "fontSize": "12pt",
            "color": "#F57B20"
        }
    }
}

Use the following example to apply header and footer in a single call:

"input": {
    "sources": [
        {
            "fileId": "EYsfBhL0JbYgNk80sbnxEg"
        }
    ],
    "dest": {
        "format": "pdf",
        "header": {
            "lines": [
                 [ "Accusoft", "", "" ],
                 [ "4001 N Riverside Dr", "", "" ],
                 [ "Tampa, FL 33603", "", "" ],
            ],
            "fontFamily": "Courier",
            "fontSize": "12pt",
            "color": "#F57B20"
        },
        "footer": {
            "lines": [
                [ "", "CONFIDENTIAL", "" ]
            ],
            "fontFamily": "Courier",
            "fontSize": "12pt",
            "color": "#F57B20"
        }        
    }
}

You can insert the current page number and/or total page count into header or footer text using the special syntax {{pageNumber}} or {{pageCount}}.

For example, to produce a footer showing "Page 1 of 12" for the first page of a twelve-page document, you can define a footer with lines like this:

"input": {
    "sources": [
        {
            "fileId": "EYsfBhL0JbYgNk80sbnxEg"
        }
    ],
    "dest": {
        "format": "pdf",
        "footer": {
            "lines": [
                [ "",  "Page {{pageNumber}} of {{pageCount}}", "" ]
            ],
            "fontFamily": "Courier",
            "fontSize": "12pt",
            "color": "#F57B20"
        }
    }
}

You can optionally pad page number and total page count values with zeroes to guarantee that they fit a particular character width using the syntax {{pageNumber,n}} or {{pageCount,n}}, where n is the minimum character width. If the actual page number or page count value does not meet the minimum character width, it will be left-padded with zeroes. This can be useful for bates numbering.

For example, the following code would produce a header with "Jones000097" in the top left of page 97:

"input": {
    "sources": [
        {
            "fileId": "EYsfBhL0JbYgNk80sbnxEg"
        }
    ],
    "dest": {
        "format": "pdf",
        "header": {
            "lines": [
                [ "Jones{{pageNumber,6}}", "", "" ]
            ],
            "fontFamily": "Courier",
            "fontSize": "12pt",
            "color": "#F57B20"
        }
    }
}
