§ 01 The request
One POST, and the file comes back.
POST /pdf/change-password
curl -sS --fail-with-body \
-o rotated.pdf \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OHMYWRAP_KEY" \
-F "file=@locked.pdf" \
-F "password=$DOC_PASSWORD" \
-F "newPassword=$NEW_PASSWORD" \

None. Send the file and nothing else. An options object is still accepted, but any key inside it is 422 invalid_options.
Worth knowing
`newPassword` is a declared secret field: it is accepted only here, capped like a password rather than a file, and redacted everywhere `password` is. Passwords never travel inside the `options` JSON, where a validation error could echo them back.
Your first /pdf/change-password call takes one line of curl.
Ten thousand calls cost ten dollars, the pack never expires, and nothing you send is kept.
10,000 calls for $10. No subscription, no expiry.
