The endpoints below `/v1/document` create documents and page images. They merge a template with JSON data, append several documents to one, convert a document to another format, replace text in a template, render the pages of a document as images and return an encrypted name under which a template of the template storage can be shown in the viewer widget of ReportingCloud. Templates and documents travel in the request body as Base64 strings, and the created documents come back the same way. Merge and find and replace take either a template in the request or the `templateName` of a stored template.

Every method except share counts against the document quota, one per successful request whatever the number of documents it returns (a test run of convert or append on a trial account is not counted), and its processing time is limited to 60 seconds. The .NET SDK calls all six with `MergeDocument`, `AppendDocument`, `ConvertDocument`, `FindAndReplaceDocument`, `GetDocumentThumbnails` and `ShareDocument`. The PHP SDK calls five of them with `mergeDocument`, `appendDocument`, `convertDocument`, `findAndReplaceDocument` and `getDocumentThumbnails`, and has no method for share. The Java SDK covers merge, append, convert and find and replace with `mergeDocument`, `appendDocuments`, `convertDocument` and `findAndReplace`, and the Ruby SDK with `merge_document`, `append_documents`, `convert_document` and `find_and_replace`. [Mail Merge](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/mail-merge/llms-full.txt) explains merging, and [Document Processing](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/document-processing/llms-full.txt) the other tasks.
