SnapOtter 8532f3227b docs: audit all 157 tool pages against live schemas
Reconcile every tool page's parameters, defaults, and response shape against the tool's Zod settings schema and executionHint in code. Notable fixes: color-palette (add count + format params, hex output, median-cut algorithm), favicon (add 5 params, was documented as having none), qr-generate (add logoDataUri), convert (add ppm/eps/tga formats), video-loudnorm (-16 LUFS not -14), smart-crop (async 202 not sync 200), images-to-video (1080x1080 square), and several output-filename and behavior-note corrections.

Also normalize API endpoint paths to /api/v1/tools/<id> (no modality segment) and standardize curl examples on the Docker API port 1349. Verified with a clean docs build.

description: Shrink PDF file size by compressing embedded images.

# Compress PDF
Reduce PDF file size by downsampling embedded images. Choose between a quality slider or a target file size.
## API Endpoint
`POST /api/v1/tools/compress-pdf`
Accepts multipart form data with a PDF file and a JSON `settings` field.
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| mode | string | No | `"quality"` | Compression mode: `quality` or `targetSize` |
| quality | integer | No | `75` | Compression quality, 1-100 (higher = less compression). Used in `quality` mode |
| targetSizeKb | number | No | - | Target file size in kilobytes. Used in `targetSize` mode |
## Example Request
Compress by quality:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/compress-pdf \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@document.pdf" \
-F 'settings={"mode": "quality", "quality": 60}'
```
Compress to a target size:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/compress-pdf \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@document.pdf" \
-F 'settings={"mode": "targetSize", "targetSizeKb": 500}'
```
## Example Response
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/document.pdf",
"originalSize": 5200000,
"processedSize": 1800000
}
```
## Notes
- In `quality` mode, lower values produce smaller files with more image degradation.
- In `targetSize` mode, a binary search finds the highest DPI that fits the requested size.
- If compression would enlarge the file, the original bytes are returned unchanged.
- Text and vector content are not affected; only embedded raster images are downsampled.
