## 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 tanod-docs-office-to-pdf-converter-964242e2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you convert this Word document to PDF? Here's the public URL: https://example.com/report.docx — give me back the file as base64.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to convert Office-format documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF) to PDF without requiring a Microsoft Office license. It is ideal for agents that need to produce universally viewable PDFs from editable documents programmatically, especially when files are available via public URL or as base64. Prefer the URL output mode for large files to avoid oversized context windows. Be aware that rendering is done by LibreOffice, so pixel-perfect fidelity to Microsoft Office layout is not guaranteed — fonts may be substituted and page counts may differ.

## Known failure modes

- Document URL is private, internal, or IP-literal — returns an error refusing the URL
- File exceeds 20 MB (URL) or 10 MB decoded (base64) size limit
- Unsupported file format provided — content detection fails
- Network timeout or unreachable URL
- Font substitution causes layout reflow and more pages than expected (not an error, but a fidelity issue noted in response)
- Macros in the document are silently not executed
- Non-HTTP/HTTPS/mailto hyperlinks are removed from output

## How this service works

Documents: DOCX template fill, Office to PDF, any file to Markdown, PDF to Word, OCR, PDF pipeline.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the converted PDF file (as base64 inline or a 24-hour download URL depending on the output parameter), along with metadata including file name, byte size, page count, content type, original format detected, operation name, input/output byte counts, a fidelity note describing LibreOffice rendering limitations (font substitutions, no macros, link handling), and flags for any active content removed.

Macros never run and nothing in the document is fetched. Hyperlinks are kept when they point to http, https, mailto or a place in the document; links of any other kind are removed (counted in active_content_removed).",
