File API - works with cURL but fails with AJAX and Postman
0
I am running gotenberg as my document to PDF conversion API and it is working with cURL.
The cURL command looks like this
curl --request POST --url http://example.com --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' --form files=@file.docx > result.pdf
The API works only with cURL, When i try hitting the same API with Postman or AJAX i get a response but on saving the details or by previewing the response using Postman i get an empty PDF file.
My AJAX request looks like this
var settings = {
"async": true,
"crossDomain": true,
"url": "http://convertionapi.com",
"method": "POST",
"processData": false,
"contentType": false,
"data": form,
success: function(data){
console.log("Success", data);
s3.upload({
Key: "files/test.pdf",
Body: data,
ContentType: 'application/pdf',
ACL: 'public-read',
},function(err, data) {...}
},
error: function(err) {
console.log("Error", err);
}
}
Can anyone throw some light as to what is happening with my request?
I get the below headers with my response but the created files are empty

What are you getting in the console.log, when you write "Success" + data?

Then, it seems that you are getting correctly the PDF from the ajax request. Now what you need to do with that information? Download it?

I am trying to save the PDF to S3 and a PDF is being created on S3, but the entire PDF is just one empty file, by empty file i mean there is no content just plain A4 sheets :/
– Nithin
Nov 22 '18 at 9:25
I have no idea of what S3 is. Just in case, are you able to see the size of the file created in S3? Is it 51563 bytes? Or it is 0bytes?

I have no idea of what S3 is. Just in case, are you able to see the size of the file created in S3? Is it 51563 bytes? Or it is 0bytes?
