Operation

operation

Required

Which PDF operation to run on every input file in this run.

merge – combine ALL input files into one PDF (order = order of the list)
split – split each input PDF into multiple PDFs (returned as one ZIP per input)
watermark – stamp a text watermark onto every page of each input
compress – reduce the file size of each input PDF
rotate – rotate every page of each input by 90/180/270°
pageNumbers – stamp page numbers or Bates numbers onto every page
sanitize – strip JavaScript, embedded files and hidden metadata before sharing
protect – add a password / encryption to each input PDF
decrypt – remove a known password from each input PDF

Type:string

Options:

mergesplitwatermarkcompressrotatepageNumberssanitizeprotectdecrypt

Input files

files

Required

PDF files to process. Each item can be:

a public https:// URL to a PDF
a data URI data:application/pdf;base64,...
a bare KEY for a record in this run's own default key-value store
a key-value store reference kvs://STORE_ID/KEY — only for stores this run can access (its own, or one shared with it in an Apify workflow); for files that live elsewhere use an https:// URL

For merge, all files are combined into a single output (in list order). For every other operation each file is processed independently and produces its own output + dataset row.

Type:array

Min. items:1

Operation parameters

operationParams

Optional

Options for the selected operation. Same params apply to every file in the batch. Leave empty to use defaults.

merge: { "sortType": "orderProvided|byFileName|byDateModified|byDateCreated|byPDFTitle", "removeCertSign": true }
split: { "mode": "pages", "pageNumbers": "1,3,5-10" } or { "mode": "everyN", "everyNPages": 5 }
watermark: { "text": "CONFIDENTIAL", "fontSize": 30, "rotation": 45, "opacity": 0.5, "widthSpacer": 50, "heightSpacer": 50, "customColor": "#d3d3d3" } (text is required)
compress: { "optimizeLevel": 5, "expectedOutputSize": "2MB", "grayscale": false } (optimizeLevel 1-9; expectedOutputSize optional)
rotate: { "angle": 90 } (angle is required: 90, 180 or 270; negative = counter-clockwise)
pageNumbers: { "customText": "{n}", "position": 8, "startingNumber": 1, "zeroPad": 0, "pagesToNumber": "all", "fontSize": 12, "fontType": "helvetica", "fontColor": "#000000", "customMargin": "medium" } — customText supports {n} (current page), {total} (page count) and {filename}; for Bates numbering use e.g. { "customText": "ABC-{n}", "zeroPad": 6 }. position 1-9 = top-left … bottom-right.
sanitize: { "removeJavaScript": true, "removeEmbeddedFiles": true, "removeXMPMetadata": true, "removeMetadata": true, "removeLinks": false, "removeFonts": false } (all default as shown)
protect: { "password": "secret", "ownerPassword": "", "keyLength": 256, "preventPrinting": false, "preventModify": false, "preventExtractContent": false } (password is required)
decrypt: { "password": "secret" } (password is required)
