## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent402-tools-pdf-extract-pages-ee809f19 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull out pages 1-3 and page 5 from this PDF — https://example.com/report.pdf — and give me the result as a new PDF?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract a specific set of pages from a remotely hosted PDF and receive the result as base64 — ideal for document splitting, report subsetting, or isolating chapters without downloading and processing the entire file locally.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible PDF URL returns an error
- Malformed page selector string (e.g. non-numeric or out-of-range pages) returns an error
- Requested pages exceed total page count of the document
- PDF is password-protected or encrypted and cannot be read
- Network timeout fetching the remote PDF

## How this service works

Pull a subset of pages into a new PDF (split). Body: {"url":"https://…/file.pdf","pages":"1-3,5"}. Returns the new PDF as base64.

## Output

A base64-encoded string representing a new PDF file containing only the requested pages, ready to be decoded and saved or forwarded.
