Edit File (Async)
Edit File (Async)
Edit and manipulate PDF documents by detecting and filling form fields.
The Edit Runs endpoint allows you to convert and edit documents and get an edit run ID that can be used to check status and retrieve results with the [Get Edit Run](https://docs.extend.ai/2026-02-09/developers/api-reference/endpoints/edit/get-edit-run) endpoint.
For more details, see the [Edit File guide](https://docs.extend.ai/2026-02-09/product/editing/edit). See [Async Processing](https://docs.extend.ai/2026-02-09/developers/async-processing) for a full guide on polling helpers and webhooks.
## Polling with the SDK
The SDK provides a `createAndPoll` / `create_and_poll` method that handles polling automatically, returning when the run reaches a terminal state (`PROCESSED` or `FAILED`):
