NULL PDF Exception

The "ERROR-001" error occurs when there is no PDF file provided. This means that the required pdf_file parameter in the POST request was null or empty.

Please note
Be sure to check the parameter syntax, the file path of the PDF file being or validity of the PDF stream.

Tips
Ensure the pdf_file parameter is set to your PDF file in the POST request.

Example of pdf_file proper syntax in cURL:

curl -X POST 'https://api.securedoc.com/v1/document-services/pdfs/redact-text?words_to_redact=IRON' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'pdf_file=@YOUR_PDF_DOCUMENT.pdf;type=application/pdf'
CURL

Refer to the final line for proper usage:

-F 'pdf_file=@YOUR_PDF_DOCUMENT.pdf;type=application/pdf'
