Convert Files

Last updated 2022/09/27 09:01:43

Agora Interactive Whiteboard supports file conversion from PPT, PPTX, DOC, DOCX, and PDF files into static images, as well as from PPT/PPTX files into dynamic HTML web pages. The generated images and web pages can be presented on the whiteboard. See File Conversion Overview.

This page applies to the new version of file conversion. For the main differences between the old and new versions, see Version comparison. If you use the old file conversion, see Old File Conversion RESTful API Reference.

Before calling the RESTful API for file conversion, ensure that you have done the following:

You have enabled Docs to Picture or Docs to Web and configured storage settings in Agora Console. See Enable server-side supporting features.
You have generated a URL address for the file you want to convert, and the address is publicly accessible.

Start file conversion

Call this API to start a file-conversion task.
