Frequently asked questions

What is a PPT-to-PDF API?

A PPT-to-PDF API converts PowerPoint PPT presentations into PDF documents with a single API call. Nutrient’s DWS Processor API converts PPT files server-side, so no Microsoft Office install is involved.

How do I convert PPT to PDF programmatically?

Send your PPT file to the Nutrient DWS Processor API, and it returns a PDF. You can call it via REST, Postman, curl, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, or PHP. See getting started for API key setup.

How do I authenticate PPT-to-PDF API requests?

Each request carries an HTTP header of the form Authorization: Bearer your_api_key_here, using either a live or a test API key. A JSON Web Token (JWT) generated from the API key can be used instead — JWTs can be scoped to specific operations and origins, time-limited, and revoked.

What is the difference between converting PPT and PPTX?

PPT is the legacy binary PowerPoint format and PPTX is the Open XML format that replaced it. Both convert through the same endpoint — see the PowerPoint-to-PDF API for the broader presentation conversion page, or the Office-to-PDF API for every Office format.

Is there a free PPT-to-PDF API?

Yes. Start free with 50 monthly credits — no credit card, watermarked output. Then move to production on credit-based pricing.
