## 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 toolsmith-pdf-text-extractor-74a6236e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull out all the text from this PDF — https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.07041.pdf — and tell me how many pages it has?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract readable text from a public PDF URL such as academic papers, SEC filings, annual reports, or government documents. Prefer this over general-purpose web scrapers when the target is specifically a PDF file and you need structured text plus page count returned as JSON.

## Known failure modes

- PDF URL is not publicly accessible or returns 4xx/5xx — extraction fails
- PDF exceeds 10 MB limit — request rejected
- URL does not point to a valid PDF file — parsing error
- Password-protected or encrypted PDF — text extraction fails
- Network timeout fetching the remote PDF — request fails
