## 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 html-markdown-url-to-pdf-converter-8db5f69c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert this markdown report to a PDF for me: '# Q2 Sales Report\n\nRevenue grew 12% this quarter...' — render it as a clean A4 PDF with backgrounds on.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need server-side PDF generation from HTML, Markdown, or a live URL without managing a headless browser yourself. Ideal for report generation, document export, invoice rendering, or archiving web pages as PDFs in an automated workflow. Prefer over client-side solutions when running in a headless or server environment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible URL returns an error (URL must be public http/https)
- More than one of html/markdown/url provided simultaneously returns a validation error
- Malformed HTML may produce unexpected rendering output
- Very large HTML documents or slow-loading URLs may time out
- No input provided (none of html, markdown, url) returns a validation error

## How this service works

Render HTML, Markdown, or a public URL to a PDF (A4, backgrounds on). Returns the PDF bytes. Exactly one of `html`, `markdown`, `url`.

## Output

Raw PDF binary bytes representing an A4-formatted PDF document rendered from the provided HTML, Markdown, or public URL, with CSS backgrounds enabled.
