Barcode Reader Pn

​
Input

NameDescriptionRequired
PDF URLProvide the URL to the source PDF document, or a filetoken:// link from PDF.co Built-In Files Storage. If you use another cloud service such as Google Drive or Dropbox ensure the link is publicly accessible.Yes
Barcode TypeChoose the type of barcode to read. By default, the system will look for QR Codes.Yes
PagesSpecify page indices as comma-separated values or ranges to process (e.g. “0, 1, 2-” or “1, 2, 3-7”). The first-page index is 0. Use ”!” before a number for inverted page numbers (e.g. “!0” for the last page). If not specified, the default configuration processes all pages. The input must be in string format.No
File NameFile name for the generated output, the input must be in string format.No
Optical Marks ReaderComma-separated list of additional marks to detect. The barcode reader engine can also find marks like Checkbox, UnderlinedField, etc. on scanned documents.No
Webhook URLThe callback URL or Webhook used to receive the output data.No
Output Links Expiration (In Minutes)Set the expiration time for the output link in minutes. After this specified duration, any generated output file(s) will be automatically deleted from PDF.co Temporary Files Storage. The maximum duration for link expiration varies based on your current subscription plan. To store permanent input files (e.g. re-usable images, pdf templates, documents) consider using PDF.co Built-In Files Storage.No
HTTP UsernameHTTP auth user name if required to access source URL.No
HTTP PasswordHTTP auth password if required to access source URL.No
Custom ProfilesUse JSON to customize PDF processing with options like output resolution, OCR settings, text extraction methods, encryption, and image handling. Check our Custom Profile section to see all available parameters for your current endpoint.No

​
Custom Profiles

You can set additional options for the operation used in the PDF.co node by using Custom Profiles. A custom profile is a string in JSON-like format containing predefined parameters. Here’s an example of a Custom Profiles input: 
{
    'DataEncryptionAlgorithm': 'AES128',
    'DataEncryptionKey': 'HelloThisKey1234',
    'DataEncryptionIV': 'TreloThisKey1234'
}
With this input, the PDF.co operation will encrypt the output with strong AES128 encryption. You can find the list of available parameters for customizing profiles in the PDF.co operation documentation below:
