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: 
{ "outputDataFormat": "base64" }
With this input, the PDF.co operation will return the output in base64 format. You can find the list of available parameters for customizing profiles in the PDF.co operation documentation below:
You can use any regular API parameter from the API Reference within n8n using the std_params feature in profiles. The std_params enables the definition of regular API parameters in a JSON format, See Standard Parameters for detailed documentation and examples.
