## 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-pdf-remove-pages-a8bb5f8e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you remove pages 1, 3, and 5-7 from this PDF at https://example.com/report.pdf and give me the result as a download link?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically remove specific pages from a PDF — by number, range, or keywords like 'last' — without converting the document to another format. It is well-suited for automation pipelines where PDFs need to be sanitized, trimmed, or prepared before sharing. Prefer this over general PDF editing tools when you need a lightweight, API-driven solution that returns the result inline or as a temporary download link, especially when operating within an AI agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- PDF URL is private, internal, or uses an IP-literal host — request refused
- PDF exceeds 20 MB (URL) or 10 MB decoded (base64) — size limit error
- Invalid page range syntax in 'pages' field — validation error
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-PDF — fetch error
- PDF is password-protected or encrypted — processing failure
- Page numbers out of range for the actual document — error or no-op

## 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 modified PDF either as inline base64 (file.data_base64) or a 24-hour download URL, along with metadata including the output file name, byte size, page count, and content type. Also includes input_bytes, input_pages, output_bytes, and a flag indicating whether active/untrusted content was removed.
