fix(pdf): Flate-compress the exported PDF streams

printpdf 0.9's `PdfSaveOptions::optimize` is a no-op — its `doc.compress()`
call is commented out — so every page's content stream (megabytes of vector
operators for a CAD sheet) was written uncompressed: a 16-sheet drawing set
exported as 280 MB. Serialise through `printpdf::to_lopdf_doc` and run
lopdf's `compress()` before writing; the same export is now 49 MB and
readers see ordinary FlateDecode streams.
