@Atemu
Webp is much better, as long as your target reader(s) support it.
Yes, as I said.
As also mentioned in the post, I need a solution for multiple pages and an image (no matter what format) only represents a single page and WEBPs don't go into PDFs.
@Atemu
There's not really a magic bullet here. The current answer is to prepare a PDF outside of paperless and feed it in: https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/discussions/367
mpflanzer on that Issue is working on a file merging feature, but it's not ready yet.
That's nice and all but does not answer how you'd create the PDF. Whether that happens outside paperless inside paperless does not make a difference. In the end, I need to create a PDF/A out of some images and the question on how to encode these images still remains.
