PHP: DOCX to PDF Conversion with Aspose.Words Cloud Issue

Aspose.Words Cloud Product Family

As the title suggests when i use the online demo (Convert Word, PDF And Other File Formats In PHP) works like a charm. As soon as I try to replicate the code in my project I get an incorrect conversion.

I have tried to use both the API and the Composer package but none of the two work. In the examples below I removed the secret and client ID for security purposes but I do use the actual values in my tests

1: API

  $client = new Client(
            [
                'headers' => [
                    'Accept' => 'application/json',
                    'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
                ]
            ]
        );
        $res = $client->post('https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token', [
            'form_params' => [
                'grant_type' => 'client_credentials',
                'client_id' => 'my client id here',           
                'client_secret' => 'my secret here',
            ]
        ]);
        
        if (!$res->getStatusCode() == 200) {
            return 'Could not get bearer token';
        }

        $response = json_decode($res->getBody()->getContents(), true);
        $accessToken = $response['access_token'];

        $curl = curl_init();
        
        curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
            CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.aspose.cloud/v4.0/words/convert?format=pdf',
            CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'PUT',
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
            CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
                'document' => new CURLFile(storage_path('Default Template.docx')),
            ),
            CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
                'Authorization: Bearer ' .  $accessToken,
                'Content-Type: multipart/form-data'
            ),
        ));
        
        $convertedFile = curl_exec($curl);
        curl_close($curl);

2: PHP Code

        $wordsApi = new WordsApi('my client id', 'my secret here');
        $requestDocument = storage_path('Default Template.docx');
        $request = new ConvertDocumentRequest($requestDocument, "pdf", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
        $file = $wordsApi->convertDocument($request);

Which gives me a result of

So what I am asking is if I am missing something or doing something wrong. I want to remind you this is the exact same file that works in the demo.

Thank you very much!

@PLA-Antreas

Please note that convertDocument returns the output file in the response; you can save it locally as follows:

....
$file = $wordsApi->ConvertDocument($request);	
copy($file->getPathName(),"DOCXtoPDF.pdf");
....

Apologies I forgot to reply and mention that that was indeed the issue. A clear oversight from my end. Thank you very much!
