Convert PDF from Remote Server to other Formats

Introduction

This example allows you to convert PDF documents uploaded at a remote server to other formats using Aspose.Pdf for Cloud API in your applications. You can use our REST API with any language: .NET, Java, PHP, Ruby, Rails, Python, jQuery and many more. In case of PDF to HTML, Aspose for Cloud service returns the output as a ZIP file because there can be multiple supporting files in the output.

Resource

The following Aspose.Pdf for Cloud REST API resource has been used in the examples: convert (Controller resource).
