## 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 url-to-pdf-converter-a4-with-backgrounds-6aff9319
```

Example prompt: Can you convert https://example.com/report into a PDF for me? I need it in A4 size with all the background colors and images preserved.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a full-page A4-format PDF of a public web page with backgrounds preserved — ideal for reports, invoices, articles, or any page where visual fidelity matters. Prefer this over screenshot services when you need a document-friendly, printable PDF output rather than an image.

## Known failure modes

- URL points to a login-gated page — content may not render correctly
- Malformed or missing URL input — request rejected
