HI all,

I have a little problem with new BoxView API. After guys from Box revealed piece of documentation for me so I can see the getRepresentations API I managed to get thumbnail representations of documents I upload but I still have problems getting PDF versions of the docs.
API clearly says:
At this time, you can retrieve a PDF representation for all Document File Types supported by Box. This does not include code, image and text file types.

Does it really means that I can't get pdf versions of pdf files I upload? 🙂
Whichever pdf I upload, when I call:

https://api.box.com/2.0/files/file_id?fields=representations

-H x-rep-hints: [pdf]

Representations array in response is empty 🙂

Any help? 
Thanks.

  I know, of course, that I can just download the file itself. 
  But that is not right approach as I want to do this dynamically for different file types.
  Above all, for some pdfs I manage to get template url and for some there is nothing
