​
URL Accessibility for PDF.co

The API supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3 for secure connections. Earlier versions such as TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are deprecated and should be avoided.
For successful integration, any publicly accessible URL can be used. Whether you’re using services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or others, ensure the URLs are accessible to PDF.co. We recommend using Make.com-generated URLs (detailed in the sections below) as they are guaranteed to be compatible with PDF.co. If you’re using direct URLs not provided via Make.com, please verify their public accessibility to ensure PDF.co can process your files efficiently.
