Image to PDF using cURL Commands

We can also perform the conversion of JPG to PDF using cURL commands. As a pre-requisite, we need to execute the following command to generate the JWT access token.

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=bbf94a2c-6d7e-4020-b4d2-b9809741374e&client_secret=1c9379bb7d701c26cc87e741a29987bb" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"

Once the JWT is generated, please execute the following command to generate a blank PDF document and save it in cloud storage.

curl -v -X PUT "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/pdf/input.pdf" \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H  "authorization: Bearer <JWT Token>"

Now we need to execute the following command to place the JPG image inside a PDF document.

curl -v -X POST "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/pdf/input.pdf/pages/1/images?llx=10.0&lly=850.0&urx=580.0&ury=650.0&imageFilePath=source.JPG" \
