2. Retrieve the file_id or download URL
3. Call this endpoint to download the generated PDF

Observed behavior

Temporary files

• If the file was created with temporary=true, it is removed after download
• Subsequent download attempts may fail

---

Response handling

• Successful responses return binary PDF data
• Errors return JSON
• Response type should be detected via Content-Type

---

Filename handling

• The filename is provided in Content-Disposition
• Two variants may be present:
  • filename="..."
  • filename*=UTF-8''...

Recommendation:
Handle both formats when extracting filenames
