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 x402-deployer-x402-deployer-workers-dev-500f6ca3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compress this PDF for me using printer quality — it's 15MB and needs to be small enough to email as an attachment?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to reduce a PDF's file size for email, web hosting, or storage, and want control over the quality/size tradeoff via three distinct compression presets. Ideal when the PDF needs to remain a PDF (not converted to another format). Choose ebook for maximum compression, printer for balanced quality, prepress when archival fidelity matters most.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or corrupted PDF input — returns error indicating unparseable file
- Unsupported quality level value — returns validation error with accepted enum values
- File too large or timeout — CloudConvert processing exceeds time limit
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.005 USDC not authorized
- Network error reaching CloudConvert backend — returns upstream error

## How this service works

PDF compressor / shrink PDF / PDF size reducer / smaller PDF for email. Three quality levels: ebook (lowest, web-quality), printer (medium), prepress (highest, archival). CloudConvert engine.

## Output

Returns a compressed PDF binary or download URL with reduced file size. The compression level depends on the chosen quality: ebook (lowest size, web/screen quality), printer (medium balance of size and quality), or prepress (highest quality, archival-grade, least compression).
