Frequently asked questions

What is a PDF editor API?

A PDF editor API lets you modify PDF documents programmatically over a REST endpoint instead of editing them by hand. Nutrient DWS Processor API is an HTTP API that can merge, split, delete, flatten, duplicate, and otherwise manipulate PDFs inside your own applications and document workflows.

Can I edit PDFs programmatically?

Yes. You send a PDF and an instruction set to the Processor API over REST, and it returns the edited document — no desktop software or manual steps required. This makes it suitable for automated, high-volume PDF manipulation pipelines.

What editing operations does the API support?

The PDF editor API supports merging, splitting, deleting pages, duplicating pages, flattening (to lock annotations and forms), and setting page labels — along with the broader set of Processor API document operations.

Which programming languages does the API support?

The API is REST-based, so it works from any language that can make an HTTP request, including JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP, C#, and HTTP (curl). A Postman collection helps you send a first request quickly.

Is there a free trial, and how does pricing work?

You can start free with Nutrient DWS credits — no credit card required — and test before scaling. See the Processor API pricing page for current credit details.
