    Hi Will!

     

     

    I think that this bit of the documentation should do the trick for you:
    https://box-view.readme.io/reference#get-documentsidcontentextension

     

    You can use the above call to download a file either in its original format, or in one of a few other "converted" formats - as specified in the link.

     

    The converted file is considered a text-based document in this sense, and the non_svg version of the converted file would be an exception to that statement. This is described a little bit further in the documentation here: https://box-view.readme.io/reference#post-documents

     

     

    Hopefully that does the trick for you!

    Thanks!

    -Tony

    Hi,
    In New Box View , how can we download a converted html files, like previous version of Box View?.

    Hi

      

       Does the new Download file API allow us to download the file with PDF format that converted after uploaded to Box View? The old Box View API supports that (https://view.box.com/reference#get-documentsidcontentextension).

      If not, how do I get converted PDF format of a file?

     

    Thanks,
