Everything you need for PDF processing
A complete set of PDF operations accessible via a simple REST API. No external libraries, no server setup — just API calls.
Merge
Combine multiple PDFs into a single document. Preserve page order and formatting.
Split
Split a PDF into multiple parts by page ranges or every N pages. Get a ZIP archive of results.
Rotate
Rotate specific pages by 90°, 180°, or 270°. Target individual pages or ranges.
Watermark
Add text watermarks with custom position, size, opacity, and rotation. Apply to all or specific pages.
Compress
Reduce PDF file size with configurable compression levels (low, medium, high).
Protect
Add password protection with granular permissions for printing, copying, modifying, and annotating.
Keep / Remove Pages
Keep or remove specific pages using flexible page specifications like '1-3,5,10-'.
DOCX → PDF
Convert Word documents to PDF format while preserving layout and formatting.
Fill Form Fields
Fill PDF form fields programmatically with your data. Pass field names and values via API and get a completed PDF back.
Detect Form Fields
Automatically detect and extract all form field names, types, and positions from a PDF. Use the result to build your fill-form payload.
One API call. That is it.
Every PDF operation works the same way: upload a file, send a request, get the result. Here is a real example.
curl -X POST https://api.autype.com/api/v1/dev/tools/pdf/watermark \ -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "fileId": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000", "text": "CONFIDENTIAL", "fontSize": 50, "opacity": 0.3, "rotation": -45 }'
{ "id": "job_abc123", "status": "PROCESSING", "action": "pdf.watermark", "createdAt": "2025-03-22T09:00:00Z" }
