# Web-Optimize PDF
Linearize a PDF so it can be progressively downloaded and displayed in web browsers without waiting for the full file.
## API Endpoint
`POST /api/v1/tools/linearize-pdf`
Accepts multipart form data with a PDF file. No `settings` field is required.
## Parameters
This tool has no settings parameters. Upload the PDF file directly.
## Example Request
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/linearize-pdf \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@document.pdf"
```
## Example Response
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/document.pdf",
"originalSize": 2450000,
"processedSize": 2460000
}
```
## Notes
- Linearization rearranges the PDF's internal structure so the first page can render before the full file has downloaded.
- The output file may be slightly larger than the input due to the added linearization data.
- Already-linearized PDFs are re-linearized without issue.
