Get authentication code

Upload source file to storage

We are uploading source file to default storage of groupdocs.cloud. However, you can use 3rd party storage with groupdocs.cloud Cloud APIs as well.

Create responsive HTML view

Download response HTML result

File API is used to download files from storage. We will download response HTML view created in the previous step as a stream.
