## About

## What it does
PDF Deskew straightens scanned or photographed PDF pages that have small angle tilts. Send one or more PDF files in the `files` array, and the service creates deskew jobs for each upload.

Use it when you need to clean up scans before archiving, indexing, or extracting text. The POST endpoint returns a `jobs` array with `job_id`, `filename`, `status`, and `progress`, so you can track each file as it moves from `queued` to `processing` to `done` or `failed`.

Poll `GET /status/:job_id` for a single job’s `job_id`, `status`, `progress`, and optional `error`. When a job is finished, `GET /download/:job_id` returns the corrected PDF as binary output.

If you are handling batches, `GET /overall-status` lets you check progress across multiple job IDs in one request. It returns aggregate `status` and `progress`, plus `total_files`, `completed_files`, and per-job `details` so you can surface batch completion in your own workflow.

> **Note:** Pricing is 1 atom per page + 50.
