## 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 pixo-tools-pdf-image-extractor-24e17c81 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull out all the images embedded in this PDF file I'm uploading? I need to get the individual image files from it.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract embedded images from a PDF privately (no third-party AI involved), as opposed to rendering pages as PNG (which rasterizes the full page layout). Prefer this over the PDF-to-PNG renderer when you want only the discrete images embedded in the document, not full-page screenshots. The in-process nature makes it suitable for sensitive documents.

## Known failure modes

- PDF contains no embedded images — returns empty result or appropriate message
- Invalid or corrupted PDF file — returns 400 or processing error
- File too large or page count exceeds pricing/limits — may return 402 or 413
- Unsupported PDF encoding or encryption — returns processing error
- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
