fix(convert): actually save per-page PDFs for qpdf, not PNGs

Previous filesystem edits to _save_images_as_pdf did not persist to
disk. Rewrote the function: quantize each dark-themed RGB image to
palette mode (256 colours, FASTOCTREE) so Pillow uses zlib/deflate
instead of JPEG (no libjpeg needed), save each as a single-page PDF,
then merge with qpdf. qpdf only accepts PDF inputs to --pages.

Also restores the orphaned footnote citations [^536] and [^537] in
docs/guide/index.md at the key disclosure law paragraph (line 8586).
Previous edit also did not persist to disk.
