Supported values for previewFormat:

• jpg—Preview format is JPG.

  If you’re concerned that feature-rich SVG previews don’t work in your org, choose alternative file previews. To use JPG file previews, enter general in the Quick Find box in Setup. Select General Settings, and then select Display alternative file previews.

• pdf—Preview format is PDF.

  PDF previews are available for files of type DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, TEXT, XLS, and XLSX. If you need a PDF preview for files of type PDF, call the download version using the File Content resource.

• svg—Preview format is SVG.

  SVG files are generated on demand. Alternatively, you can generate an SVG preview by making a PATCH request to /connect/files/fileId/previews.

  Hyperforce doesn’t support the SVG file preview format. Any org hosted on Hyperforce defaults to JPG file preview format regardless of the org preference in Setup.
