Merge PDF ​

Note：Before learning how to use different functions, we recommend that read the Request Workflow to know a basic PDF processing process. When using different functions, you can set their own special parameters when uploading files. Other basic steps are consistent.

PDF Merge：

-In the same task, upload multiple files (up to five). If pageOptions is not passed, it will be multi-file merge.

-In the same task, upload multiple files (up to five) and pageOptions, merge the specified page numbers of multiple files.

{
    "pageOptions": "['1,2']"
}

Needed Parameters

pageOptions: Merge the page range of the document, the page number starts from 1, for example: 1,2,4,6,9-11 (if you do not enter all pages by default, the page number entered cannot exceed the maximum page number of the document)

Example

1. Authentication

   You need to replace and with accessToken in the publicKey and secretKey authentication getback values you get from the console.

   curljava

   curl

   curl --location --request POST 'https://api-server.compdf.com/server/v1/oauth/token' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data-raw '{
       "publicKey": "publicKey",
       "secretKey": "secretKey"
   }'

   public class main {
     public static void main(String []args) throws IOException{
       OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient().newBuilder()
         .build();
       MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("text/plain");
       RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, "{\n    \"publicKey\": \"{{public_key}}\",\n    \"secretKey\": \"{{secret_key}}\"\n}");
       Request request = new Request.Builder()
         .url("https://api-server.compdf.com/server/v1/oauth/token")
         .method("POST", body)
         .build();
       Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
     }

2. Create Task

   You need to replace with the accessToken which was obtained from the previous step, and replace with the language type you want to display the error information. After replacing them, you will get the taskId in the response data.

   curljava

   curl

   curl --location --request GET 'https://api-server.compdf.com/server/v1/task/pdf/merge' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer accessToken'

       OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient().newBuilder()
         .build();
       MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("text/plain");
       RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, "");
       Request request = new Request.Builder()
         .url("https://api-server.compdf.com/server/v1/task/pdf/merge?language={{language}}")
         .method("GET", body)
         .addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer {{accessToken}}")
         .build();
       Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
     }

3. Upload Files

   Replace with the file you want to convert, with the taskId obtained in the previous step, with the language type you want to display the error information, and with the accessToken obtained in the first step.

   PDF Merge：

   "pageOptions": "['1,2']"

   -In the same task, upload multiple files (up to five). If pageOptions is not passed, it will be multi-file merge.

   -In the same task, upload multiple files (up to five) and pageOptions, merge the specified page numbers of multiple files.

   -The upload interface supports single-file uploads only.

   curljava

   curl

   curl --location --request POST 'https://api-server.compdf.com/server/v1/file/upload' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer accessToken' \
   --form 'file=@"test.pdf"' \
   --form 'taskId="taskId"' \
   --form 'password=""' \
   --form 'parameter="{    \"pageOptions\": ['\''1,2'\'']}"'
