# Create a Briefing Document from a PDF Upload

This snippet mirrors the [PDF-based document recipe](https://docs.autocontentapi.com/quick-start/documents/from-pdf) using an uploaded file ID.

```python
import os
import requests


token = os.getenv("AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN", "YOUR_API_TOKEN")
file_id = os.getenv("FILE_ID", "YOUR_FILE_ID")
endpoint = "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/Create"

payload = {
    "outputType": "briefing_doc",
    "format": "html",
    "resources": [
        {
            "type": "file",
            "content": file_id,
        }
    ],
    "text": "Turn this uploaded report into an HTML briefing with headings, bullets, and a recommendations section.",
}

response = requests.post(
    endpoint,
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json=payload,
    timeout=30,
)

if response.status_code >= 400:
    raise SystemExit(f"Request failed: {response.status_code} {response.text}")

print("Document request accepted:")
print(response.json())
```

Set `YOUR_API_TOKEN` (or `AUTOCONTENT_TOKEN`) and `FILE_ID` before running.
