What pdfRest API Toolkit Cloud is
pdfRest API Toolkit Cloud provides APIs for converting, compressing, modifying, extracting, and securing digital documents. Core PDF tools include conversion, compression, merging, and splitting; Pro Tools add PDF-to-Word conversion, redaction, form processing, digital signatures, AI summarization, and translation. The cloud service uses standard HTTP verbs, and its API Lab creates copyable code snippets. Documented integrations include Microsoft Power Automate, Salesforce Apex, Zapier, Bubble.io, Make.com, n8n.io, Google Apps Script, and Workato.
The service can be used from desktop, web, and mobile applications, as well as no-code and low-code solutions. Requests need an API key, and calls that use one count toward monthly usage. The free Starter plan includes 100 API calls per month, watermarked output, a 100 MB upload maximum, and five-minute file retention. Paid plans are Premium at $9.99 per month, Pro at $99.99 per month, and Enterprise at $349.99 per month. Standard cloud hosting is in United States data centers, with an EU GDPR Cloud API also available. Files are automatically deleted after the plan's retention period.
