Converts a public web page URL to a PDF file, returning it as base64 data or a 24-hour download link, with configurable paper size, orientation, margins, and render settings.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-web-html-to-pdf-converter-3964aab4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you convert https://example.com/report to a PDF using A4 paper in portrait orientation, wait 1000ms for it to fully load, and give me a download link instead of the raw base64 data?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to produce an actual PDF file (not just a Markdown or screenshot) from a public web URL, especially when paper size, orientation, and print margins matter — such as for archiving, printing, or document delivery. Prefer the 'url' output mode for large pages to avoid bloating the agent context with base64 data. Use the wait_ms parameter when the target page uses JavaScript-heavy rendering (e.g. charts, dashboards).

## Known failure modes

- Non-public or firewall-protected URLs will fail to load
- Invalid or malformed URLs return an error
- Pages requiring authentication will render login screens instead of content
- Very large or complex pages may time out or produce oversized responses
- Invalid paper size enum values return validation errors
- Scale values outside 0.1–2.0 range are rejected
- margin_mm values above 50 are rejected

## How this service works

Web tools: search, page to Markdown or screenshot, company profile and jobs, sitemaps, RDAP, IP.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the operation type, paper size, orientation, page count, output byte size, and either a base64-encoded PDF (data_base64 field) or a temporary download URL valid for 24 hours (with expiry timestamp, byte count, content type, and SHA256 hash for verification). An 'untrusted_content' flag is also returned indicating the rendered content came from an external source.
