  2. Submit a linearize operation against the uploaded PDF asset. The API returns a job id for polling.
  3. Poll the linearize operation status, repeating while it is in progress and branching once it is done or failed.
  4. Retrieve the linearized PDF asset metadata and a fresh temporary download URI for the output file.
  5. Surface the error details from the failed linearize operation.
