## 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-web-tools-pdf-text-extractor-082390dd
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the text from this PDF — https://example.gov/annual-report-2024.pdf — and give me the content of the first 20 pages?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a direct public HTTPS URL to a PDF and need to extract its text content page by page, along with document metadata. It is ideal for text-layer PDFs (not scanned images) up to 10 MB. Prefer this over general web scraping endpoints when the target is specifically a PDF file rather than an HTML page.

## Known failure modes

- PDF exceeds 10 MB size limit — returns an error or truncated response
- Scanned PDF without a text layer — returns pages with little or no text
- URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — fetch fails
- Invalid or non-PDF URL — parsing error returned
- max_pages or max_chars out of allowed range (pages: 1-200, chars: 1000-500000) — validation error

## How this service works

Extract the text of a PDF at a public URL, page by page, with its title, author and page count. Up to 10 MB; scanned PDFs without a text layer return little text.

## Output

A JSON object containing the total page count, number of pages returned, total character count, the document title (if embedded), and an array of page objects each with a page number and extracted text string. Scanned PDFs without a text layer will return minimal text.
