Using Glasswall Conform to process irregular PDFs

Glasswall Conform enhances PDF processing by allowing irregular or malformed documents to be safely cleaned when standard validation would normally fail. It is available across both the Sync API and the Halo Portal.

Prerequisite

• Halo version 2.10.0 or later

Supported endpoints

Conform is currently supported on the following sync API endpoints:

• /api/v3/cdr-file
• /api/v3/cdr

How to enable Conform

Option 1: Sync API

To process a file using conform via the API:

1. Send aPOSTRequest to the sync API endpoint with thepdf-conform=trueQuery parameter:

/api/v3/cdr-file?pdf-conform=true

2. After processing, check the response headers for:

• x-pdf-conform

This indicates whether Glasswall Conform was used during processing.

Option 2: Halo Portal

In the Clean a file section of the Halo Portal, enable the Process irregular pdfs toggle.

If Conform is applied during file cleaning, the analysis report will include additional details indicating why it was used.
