## 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 falcon-sol-pdf-to-text-markdown-8432d52c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract the text from this PDF as markdown — including headings, bullets, and any tables — so I can feed it into my RAG pipeline? Here's the URL: https://example.com/report.pdf

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need clean, page-by-page text or structured markdown from a PDF (including scanned documents) for feeding into LLMs, RAG pipelines, or document search indexes. It's especially suited for mixed PDFs that have both native text and scanned image pages, since it applies OCR automatically only where needed. Prefer it over generic OCR endpoints when you need structured markdown output with headings and tables preserved.

## Known failure modes

- PDF exceeds 60-page or 4 MB limit — request rejected
- Invalid or inaccessible PDF URL — fetch failure
- Corrupted or password-protected PDF — extraction fails
- Base64 encoding malformed — parse error
- Heavily degraded scan quality causes OCR to return poor or empty text
