Environment

Status	Body	When

A file response carries X-Sada-Job and X-Sada-Expires-At. For long work, post to /v1/tools/pdf-to-xml/jobs instead. See jobs and webhooks.

Also runs on the device

In the web tool and apps, PDF to XML can run locally with no upload. The API always processes on the server.

Pick a file, set the options and run a real request with your key. The code follows your changes.
