## 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 pdf-url-to-markdown-converter-b065ce83 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you grab this public PDF and convert it to Markdown for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/report.pdf — just parse the content and give me the markdown text.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a public PDF URL and need its content as Markdown text quickly and cheaply ($0.001/call). It is ideal for document ingestion pipelines, content extraction workflows, or any agent task requiring structured text from a PDF. Best suited for text-native PDFs under 5MB with up to 20 pages. If you need OCR for scanned/image PDFs or processing of very large documents, look for a dedicated OCR service instead.

## Known failure modes

- PDF URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — returns an error
- PDF exceeds 5MB size limit — request rejected
- PDF has more than 20 pages — only first 20 pages are parsed
- URL does not point to a valid PDF — parsing fails
- PDF is image-only/scanned with no text layer — output may be empty or incomplete
- Network timeout fetching the remote PDF URL

## How this service works

Convert a public PDF (by URL) to Markdown — real local parsing, first 20 pages, max 5MB input. POST body required.

## Output

A Markdown-formatted string representation of the PDF's textual content, parsed locally from the first 20 pages (up to 5MB input). The output preserves document structure as Markdown headings, paragraphs, lists, and other elements where detectable.
