## 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 relaystation-pdf-image-extractor-d9082283 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull out all the embedded images from this PDF and give them back to me as PNG files? Here's the PDF: https://example.com/my-report.pdf

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract all embedded raster or vector images from a PDF as individual PNG files, especially in automated pipelines where you need the raw image assets rather than a full OCR or text extraction. Prefer it over full document ingestion endpoints when you only need the images, not the text content.

## Known failure modes

- PDF contains no embedded images — returns empty result
- Invalid or inaccessible PDF URL — returns 400/404 error
- PDF is password-protected or encrypted — extraction may fail
- Corrupted PDF file — parsing error returned
- Insufficient x402 payment balance — payment authorization failure
- Very large PDFs may time out depending on page count
