# DocForge PDF Split

> DocForge PDF Split is a paid API for AI agents from docforge-selim.duckdns.org, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Splits a PDF document into one or more page-range segments, returning a single PDF or ZIP of PDFs, paid via x402 USDC on Base.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 docforge-pdf-split-8882240e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you split my PDF into two parts — pages 1 through 15 as one file and pages 16 through 40 as another — and give me a ZIP with both?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically split or extract page ranges from a PDF file in an agent workflow and are set up to pay via x402 USDC on Base. Prefer this over manual tools when automation and machine-payable micropayments are required.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if x402 header is missing or payment is insufficient — retry with valid payment header
- Invalid page range (out of bounds for the document) returns an error
- Malformed or password-protected PDF input rejected
- Network timeout on large PDF uploads
- Invalid USDC payment amount or wrong chain

## How this service works

Machine-payable document & media generation via x402 (USDC on Base). Endpoints respond 402 with payment instructions; retry with an x402 payment header.

## Output

For a single page range: a binary PDF file containing only the specified pages. For multiple ranges: a ZIP archive containing one PDF per range. Payment of $0.02 USDC on Base is required via x402 before the response is delivered.
