Image and PDF Converter Pro: Seamless Document & Image Conversion

Unlock versatile document conversion with Image and PDF Converter Pro. This powerful Apify Actor effortlessly transforms images into high-quality PDF documents and converts PDF pages into individual or merged image files. Ideal for streamlining workflows, archiving, content creation, and ensuring cross-platform compatibility.

Key Features

• Bidirectional Conversion: Convert images (JPEG, PNG, BMP) to PDF and PDF pages to images.
• High-Quality Output: Control the output quality (1-100) for crisp, clear results.
• Custom Watermarking: Protect your intellectual property by adding personalized text watermarks.
• Flexible PDF to Image Output:
  • Generate individual image files for each PDF page.
  • Merge all PDF pages into a single, cohesive image (e.g., for social media, presentations, or quick previews).
• Supports Popular Cloud Storage: Directly process files from Google Drive, Dropbox, and other direct URLs.

How it Works

Simply provide a direct URL to your image or PDF file, choose your desired conversion, and let the Actor handle the rest. Whether you need to archive old photos into a single PDF or extract visuals from a multi-page document, this Actor offers a robust and reliable solution.

Input

The Actor takes a single input object with the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
url	String	Required. Direct URL to the image or PDF file you want to convert (e.g., from Google Drive, Dropbox, or any publicly accessible link).
conversionDirection	String	Specifies the conversion type. Choose auto to let the Actor detect the file type and perform the opposite conversion (e.g., image to PDF, or PDF to images). You can also explicitly set imageToPdf or pdfToImages to force a specific conversion, overriding auto-detection if needed.
quality	Number	Adjusts the output quality (1-100, where 100 is best). This applies to both image and PDF outputs, helping you balance file size and visual fidelity.
mergeOutput	Boolean	Applicable only when converting PDF to images. If true, all generated images from the PDF will be merged into a single image file. If false (default), individual image files will be provided for each page. Useful for creating composite images of multi-page documents.
watermark	Object	Optional. Add a text watermark to your output files. Configure properties like text, opacity (0-1), fontSize, color, and position (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, center).

Example Input:

{
    "url": "https://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf",
    "conversionDirection": "auto",
    "quality": 90,
    "mergeOutput": true,
    "watermark": {
        "text": "CONFIDENTIAL",
        "opacity": 0.6,
        "fontSize": 30,
        "color": "red",
        "position": "center"
    }
}

Output

The Actor stores its results in the default Key-Value Store. Each successful run generates a record containing details about the converted file(s).

• Image to PDF Conversion:
  • pdfUrl: Direct URL to the newly created PDF document.
  • pdfKey: The key under which the PDF is stored in the Key-Value Store.
• PDF to Image Conversion (individual pages):
  • images: An array of objects, each containing:
    • url: Direct URL to the converted image for a specific page.
    • page: The page number from the original PDF.
• PDF to Image Conversion (merged output):
  • mergedImageUrl: Direct URL to the single image file containing all merged pages.
  • mergedImageKey: The key under which the merged image is stored in the Key-Value Store.

All outputs also include:

• originalUrl: The URL of the input file.
• conversionType: Indicates whether imageToPdf or pdfToImages conversion was performed.
