Discover efficient integration strategies in our guide: [File Source Integrations in Make](/integrations/make/input-file-sources). ## Output | Name | Description | | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `url` | This is the temporary **URL** provided by the **PDF.co** file server. | | `Data` | Represents the output binary data. This data is generated only when the `Export Type` option is set to `Download a File`. | | `Status` | Indicates the [response status](/api-reference/introduction) code. A `success` status is returned if the operation is successful. | | `Page Count` | The total number of pages in the output **PDF**. | | `outputLinkValidTill` | Specifies the timestamp until which the `url` remains accessible. | | `error` | Provides details about any errors encountered during the process, if applicable. | | `name` | The designated name of the output file. | | `Job Id` | A unique identifier assigned to the job. | | `credits` | The amount of credits utilized for the process. | | `Remaining Credits` | Displays the balance of credits available in your account. | | `duration` | The duration of time the process took to complete. | ### Profiles To display the Profiles fields, you must **enable Advanced Settings** by clicking the toggle: Advanced Settings You can set additional options for the operation used in the [PDF.co](http://pdf.co/) module by using **Profiles**. A profile is a string in JSON-like format containing predefined parameters. ### Here’s an example of a Custom Profiles input: ```json theme={null} { "outputDataFormat": "base64" } ``` With this input, the [PDF.co](http://pdf.co/) module will return the output in base64 format. You can find the list of available parameters for customizing profiles in the [PDF.co](http://pdf.co/) operation documentation below: You can use any regular API parameter from the [API Reference](/api-reference) within Make using the `std_params` feature in profiles. The `std_params` enables the definition of regular API parameters in a JSON format, See [Standard Parameters](/api-reference/profiles#standard-parameters) for detailed documentation and examples. | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | ------------------------- | -------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `outputDataFormat` | string | - | If you require your output as base64 format, set this to base64 | | `Pages[0].SetCropBox()` | array\[string] | - | Crop a PDF file using an array to define the crop area. The crop box is defined by a rectangle \[x, y, width, height] in PDF points (1 Point = 1/72 inches). | | `DisableLigatures` | boolean | `false` | To disable ligaturization, for example for Hebrew, use the following: | | `FlattenDocument()` | boolean | `false` | Flattening a document renders it as read-only. Handy if you want to remove editing or copying capability. | | `DataEncryptionAlgorithm` | string | - | Controls the encryption algorithm used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. The available algorithms are: AES128, AES192, AES256. | | `DataEncryptionKey` | string | - | Controls the encryption key used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. | | `DataEncryptionIV` | string | - | Controls the encryption IV used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. | | `DataDecryptionAlgorithm` | string | - | Controls the decryption algorithm used for data decryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. The available algorithms are: AES128, AES192, AES256. | | `DataDecryptionKey` | string | - | Controls the decryption key used for data decryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. | | `DataDecryptionIV` | string | - | Controls the decryption IV used for data decryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. |
