      # 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.

# Source PDF file to get information
$SourceFile = ".\sample.pdf"

# 1. RETRIEVE THE PRESIGNED URL TO UPLOAD THE FILE.
# * If you already have a direct file URL, skip to the step 3.

# Prepare URL for `Get Presigned URL` API call
$query = "https://localhost/file/upload/get-presigned-url?contenttype=application/octet-stream&name=" + `
    [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName($SourceFile)
$query = [System.Uri]::EscapeUriString($query)

try {
    # Execute request
    $jsonResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get  -Uri $query
    
    if ($jsonResponse.error -eq $false) {
        # Get URL to use for the file upload
        $uploadUrl = $jsonResponse.presignedUrl
        # Get URL of uploaded file to use with later API calls
        $uploadedFileUrl = $jsonResponse.url

        # 2. UPLOAD THE FILE TO CLOUD.
        $r = Invoke-WebRequest -Method Put -Headers @{ "content-type" = "application/octet-stream" } -InFile $SourceFile -Uri $uploadUrl
        
        if ($r.StatusCode -eq 200) {
