## 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-to-markdown-converter-f061355b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you convert this PDF file I'm uploading into Markdown format? I want the text and structure preserved as cleanly as possible.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need privacy-preserving PDF-to-Markdown conversion — it processes entirely in-process without sending content to any third party (unlike the OCR or JSON extraction endpoints which use Google Gemini). Ideal for sensitive documents where you don't want content leaving the service's own infrastructure. Best for PDFs with native text layers rather than scanned images.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or corrupt PDF file returns an error response
- Unsupported PDF version or encrypted/password-protected PDF may fail to convert
- Network or payment authorization failure via x402 protocol prevents processing
- Empty or image-only PDF with no extractable text may return minimal Markdown
- File too large or page count exceeds service limits returns an error

## How this service works

## Output

A Markdown-formatted text representation of the PDF's content, including preserved headings, paragraphs, and document structure, returned as the response body after the x402 micropayment of $0.02 USDC is processed.
