iLovePDF Overview#

The iLovePDF API lets you automate PDF processing tasks like merging, splitting, compressing, and converting PDFs to other formats. iLovePDF's robust functionality can be harnessed in Pipedream workflows, which may include handling PDFs generated from various triggers, processing them as needed, and connecting to other services for storage, data extraction, or further actions based on the transformed PDFs.

Data Stores Overview#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.
