      # Cloud API asynchronous "CSV To PDF" job example.
# Allows to avoid timeout errors when processing huge or scanned PDF documents.

# Please NOTE: In this sample we're assuming Cloud Api Server is hosted at "https://localhost". 
# If it's not then please replace this with with your hosting url.

# Direct URL of source CSV file.
$SourceFileURL = "https://bytescout-com.s3.amazonaws.com/files/demo-files/cloud-api/csv-to-pdf/sample.csv"
# Destination PDF file name
$DestinationFile = ".\result.pdf"
# (!) Make asynchronous job
$Async = $true


# Prepare URL for `CSV To PDF` API call
$query = "https://localhost/pdf/convert/from/csv?name=$(Split-Path $DestinationFile -Leaf)&url=$($SourceFileURL)&async=$($Async)"
$query = [System.Uri]::EscapeUriString($query)
