Document Converter turns a Word (.docx, .doc) or PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt) document into a PDF and saves it as a task file. Use it when a document must be read or cited page by page: the cite tool and the PDF viewer work on PDFs. Display name “Document Converter”. Off by default; enable it per agent.

​
Authentication and enablement

  • No integration to connect. The platform converts through ConvertAPI; a platform without its key reports the tool as not configured.
  • Off by default.

​
Inputs

  • file_url (required): the document, as a task file URL or a workspace path.
  • output_format (optional): pdf, the only format.
  • output_filename (optional): the PDF’s name. Default: the document’s name with .pdf.
The file’s real type is read from its contents, never its name: a Word file saved under an old 8.3 name such as VF_ACN~2.DOC converts correctly.

​
Output

The PDF as a task file (file_url, file_id, filename). In a task that runs in its own machine, the PDF is also saved into the workspace under /workspace/outputs/doc_converter/.

​
Limits and side effects

  • The document is sent to ConvertAPI for conversion.
  • Up to 500 MB.

​
Errors

  • The file is already a PDF, or is not a Word or PowerPoint file.
  • The conversion failed, or the platform has no converter key.
