pdfservices-sdk-foxit 0.0.1

A SDK wrapper for Foxit's PDF Services and Document Generation APIs.

Foxit PDF Services SDK

This SDK lets developers more easily use the Foxit APIs, including PDF Services and Document Generation. You will need a free set of credentials in order to call the APIs.

Usage

Copy your credentials to the environment and then instantiate the SDK. Here's a sample:

import pdf_service_sdk
import os 

CLIENT_ID = os.getenv("CLIENT_ID")
CLIENT_SECRET = os.getenv("CLIENT_SECRET")

sdk = pdf_service_sdk.PDFServiceSDK( client_id=CLIENT_ID,
                                     client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET)

Generally speaking, moist methods handle upload and download for you, checking the task and so forth so you don't need it. For example:

sdk.word_to_pdf(input_path="../../inputfiles/input.docx",output_path="../../output/output_from_sdk.pdf")
print("Conversion completed successfully. Check the output file at ../../output/output_from_sdk.pdf")

# Handle it simpler
sdk.conversion(input_path="../../inputfiles/input.docx",output_path="../../output/output_from_sdk_v2.pdf")
print("Conversion (second version) completed successfully. Check the output file at ../../output/output_from_sdk_v2.pdf")

Methods Supported

• conversion(input_path, output_path) - general conversion method
• excel_to_pdf, html_to_pdf, image_to_pdf, pdf_to_excel, pdf_to_html, pdf_to_image, pdf_to_powerpoint, pdf_to_text, pdf_to_word, powerpoint_to_word, text_to_pdf, word_to_pdf - all take an input_path and output_path argument
• url_to_pdf(url, output_path) - convert a URL to pdf
• extract(input_path, output_path, type (one of TEXT, IMAGE, PAGE), page_range) - extracts either text, images (zip), or pages (new pdf)
• download(doc_id, output_path) - given a document id and path, will stream the data down
• upload(path) - upload a document and return a path
• compress(input_path,output_path,compressionLevel) - compresses a PDF, default level is LOW
• linearize(input_path,output_path) - linearizes a PDF
• flatten(input_path,output_path) - flattens a PDF

To Do:

• remove-password, protect, combine, manipulate, split, compare
• Make output path optional and just return the doc id
• Make checking a task public and a utility pollTask to handle repeating (this and the previous two methods would let devs chain calls)
