POST/v1/pdfs
Make a PDF from images (PNG or JPEG), one page each, on a paper size or at each image's own size
Phone photos come out the right way up: the JPEG's EXIF orientation is drawn in. fit contain (default) shows the whole image, cover fills the page, stretch ignores proportions. Send the images as multipart (-F file=@1.jpg -F file=@2.jpg) to skip uploading.
