GZ to PDF: Convert a Gzip File Without Unzipping

GZ marks a file compressed by gzip. Downloads, log exports and data dumps travel that way because compression cuts their size, and the contents are not readable until a decompression tool has run over them.

PDF makes such content readable again. Pages are laid out, fonts are embedded and the file opens the same on every desktop, which is what makes PDF the format for sending something to a person rather than to a program.

GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud reads the compressed file and returns the document over REST. Choose all of it or a page range, name the quality and resolution wanted, apply a watermark, and give the finished PDF a password. Scanned input can be recognised with OCR.

The step fits inside a PHP application through the SDK, and the account is identified by a Client ID with a Secret. Evaluation runs on the free trial, the free web converter covers an occasional file, and the API Explorer demonstrates the call before development begins.
