Operations and recipes

Everything the desk can do. Every operation is a step of a plan: you can call it with a button, in words, through a recipe or from code. The tables below are built from the same list the tool uses.

Operations

The list appears when the page has loaded. JavaScript is needed.

Built-in recipes

A recipe is applied with one click to the files on the desk. Your own recipes are stored in your browser; you can save them to a file and pass them on.

The recipe format

A recipe file is a small JSON. You can write it by hand and load it with the "Import a recipe" button.

{
  "format": "ihatepdf-recipe",
  "version": 1,
  "name": "For email",
  "steps": [
    { "op": "merge", "params": {} },
    { "op": "number", "params": { "from": 3 } },
    { "op": "compress", "params": { "targetMB": 5 } }
  ]
}
