POST/forms/pdf/delete

The PDFs.

ZIP files Gotenberg unpacks: each entry counts as a file uploaded under files.

URLs Gotenberg downloads first, as if you had uploaded the files. Each entry takes a url, and optionally extraHttpHeaders.

pagespagesrequired

The pages to remove.

The PDF, or a ZIP of the PDFs when you send several.

The route also takes the headers. An error answers a status and a message: see Errors.

curl \
--request POST http://localhost:3000/forms/pdf/delete \
--form files=@report.pdf \
--form pages=last \
-o report.pdf

pages takes a page selection. To keep a few pages rather than remove a few, select them.

In a list of stages​

The stage also runs in a list on /forms/pdf/pipe, and on the PDFs a Chromium or LibreOffice conversion makes, in its stages field:

curl \
--request POST http://localhost:3000/forms/pdf/pipe \
--form files=@report.pdf \
--form 'stages=[
{ "op": "delete", "pages": "2" }
]' \
-o report.pdf
