Option Name | Description |
---|---|
allow_multiple_outputs
Type: boolean Default: False |
If the conversion produces more than one output file, by default all of them are compressed in just one file. Set this option to true if you want a download link for each file. |
allow_multiple_outputs_threshold
Type: integer Minimum: 2 Maximum: 400 |
Sets the threshold for the number of output files during conversion. This option is considered only when `allow_multiple_outputs` is set to true. If the generated output files exceed this threshold, they are compressed into one file. Conversely, if the threshold is not met, each output file remains uncompressed. |
