What changes

  • TSV content is parsed by our document engine and freshly typeset by our PDF renderer into PDF pages for tsv-to-pdf.
  • The PDF is newly laid out; it is not a print driver capture of the source application's screen.
  • Headings, lists, tables, code blocks, links, and supported images are kept as document structure before typesetting.
  • Fonts use the server's available our PDF renderer/our document engine font set unless the source embeds content our document engine can carry forward.
  • Exact page size and margin customization are not exposed as honoured API options yet; current output uses the service defaults.
  • Interactive widgets, comments, speaker notes, and source-only metadata are not part of the final PDF body.

TSV to PDF by API or MCP

The HTTP API and the MCP server run the exact engine this page uses (Table engine → Document engine → PDF renderer); the response carries the same warnings the web converter shows. Check support first with GET /api/v1/pairs?from=tsv&to=pdf.

curl
curl -X POST https://filetypeconverters.com/api/v1/convert \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FTC_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@input.tsv" -F "from=tsv" -F "to=pdf" \
  --output output.pdf
